Sri Lankan troops have captured three Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) bases in the north-eastern region, forcing the outfit’s cadres to flee into the jungles, the Defence Ministry said on February 24, according to The Hindu. "The military had to carry out the operation as the terrorists were targeting our camps in the area and risking supply lines… During the past 72 hours, the Army, supported by artillery and mortars, successfully neutralised the three bases," said military spokespersons Brig. Prasad Samarasinghe. The area is near the port city of Trincomalee, which has a major Sri Lankan navy base and serves as an important supply line to the north. However, no casualties were reported, as the LTTE cadres had fled before the troops moved in. Soldiers recovered a large number of roadside bombs, anti-personnel mines, rocket-propelled grenades, assault rifles, mortars and large quantities of ammunition.
