At least 22 people are reported to have been killed as heavy fighting erupted between the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) factions of Velupillai Prabhakaran and Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias 'Colonel' Karuna in the early hours of April 9. The Wanni-based main LTTE group of Prabhakaran launched an attack against positions of Karuna near the Verugal River, 78 Kilometers from Batticaloa, firing artillery, mortar bombs and assault rifles, according to Daily News. More than 100 cadres on both sides are believed to have been injured after they exchanged fire for several hours. This was the first major clash between the two factions after the LTTE split in March 2004. Meanwhile, civilians in the area were moving towards safer locations, indicated International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) spokesperson Sukumar Rockwood. An ambulance driver sent to evacuate the wounded was killed in a mine explosion, while several other civilian vehicles were caught in the crossfire, defence sources said.

According to The Hindu, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has claimed that a three-pronged offensive on the expelled military commander, Vinayagamoorthy Muralitharan alias 'Colonel' Karuna made it possible for the main group to retake rebel-held Batticaloa region. "Our forces encircled the rebel forces in Vakarai, Kathiraveli and Verugal. When we informed them that they could join us without fear, the Karuna group cadres came over to our side," the LTTE’s political head for Batticaloa-Amparai, Kousalyan, told journalists in the east on April 12, said a report in the TamilNet website. Kousalyan, who was retained as the political head of the two eastern districts despite the split, claimed that 1,500 cadres of Karuna's group rejoined the LTTE on April 9, when the offensive started. The operation was explained by Kousalyan as a "retrieving duty" that was "well-planned" by the LTTE chief Prabhakaran and "executed" by T. Ramesh, who was appointed as ‘special commander’ for the two districts on March 9, when the LTTE expelled Karuna.
