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.

More than 30 Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres are believed to be dead and four Security Forces (SFs) were killed, when a fierce battle erupted between troops and the outfit cadres in the Batticaloa district on March 21, said Military officials according to Colombo Page. The outfit cadres continued to fire artillery and mortars at the Kumburumalai, Siththandi, Black Bridge, Mavedivembu and Chenkaladi Army camps, while at the same time a group of 300 outfit cadres attempted to infiltrate the camps in small groups. The indiscriminate shelling injured many civilians and severely damaged their houses. SFs retaliated with mortar and small arms fire, which killed more than 30 outfit cadres and injured many others. During the mortar attack four soldiers were killed and 14 were injured. In the search operation following the attack, six T-56 assault rifles, a LMG, a RPG, a Bangalore Torpedo and a large stock of ammunition were recovered by the troops. "Eight LTTE bodies were recovered in the search operation and according to LTTE communication intercepts over 30 cadres were seriously injured and were being taken to Thoppigala area," the official said. Following the attack Sri Lanka Air Force struck identified outfit’s targets in south of Vavunathivu area where the SFs believe the Tigers moved in after their failed attack. Meanwhile, LTTE spokesman Rasiah Ilanthirayan confirmed that the outfit had launched a "pre-emptive strike on military build-ups", adding, the aim was to prevent the military entering villages, disrupting harvests and scaring locals away, according to Associated Press. He admitted eight cadres of the outfit died in the fighting.

Meanwhile, security forces (SFs) recovered a sophisticated Thermo Baric weapon left behind by the fleeing LTTE cadres in the Verugal area of Trincomalee district, according to Colombo Page. Thermo baric weapons, banned in warfare for its deadly effects, function by first expelling a cloud of explosive mist using a small charge, then igniting it with a second charge. The weapons create a huge pressure wave which effectively destroys almost everything within minutes. During a search operation, the military was able to find this weapon along with three disposable rocket propelled grenades, 1,250 rounds of 5.6-mm x 22 LR ammunition, 5,300 rounds of 5.56-mm x 45 ammunition and 2,130 rounds of pistol bullets.
