At least eight civilians, who went missing from a temple, are feared killed in the Thenmarachchi area of Jaffna district on May 7. The Jaffna district Tamil National Alliance Member of Parliament, Nataraja Raviraj, told BBC Sandeshaya that eight civilians attending a ceremony at a temple in the Manthuvil village were missing overnight. He also said, “People have heard gunshots and blood traces and bullets were found near the temple,” and added that the local residents accused the Sri Lanka military of abducting young men attending the religious ceremony. However, the military spokesperson, Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe, denied the accusations. He told BBC Tamil service, “Definitely the Army will not do a thing like that in a temple; rather the Army will never kill civilians.” Meanwhile, the Sri Lanka Defence Ministry has announced imposing curfew from May 7-midnight to May 8-evening and closing entry point at Muhamalai.

At least 13 civilians, including a four-month and a four-year old child, were killed by suspected Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres in two incidents in the Kayts Island of Jaffna district on May 13. In the first incident, nine members of two families were shot dead. The police also recovered four bodies with bullet wounds from the same area and said that all the murders are connected. The LTTE, however, accused the military for the attack, an allegation which the security forces (SFs) denied. Meanwhile, the Sri Lankan Government condemning the incident stated, "The ruthless killing of Tamil civilians could very well be a part of the LTTE strategy to divert the international opinion… Initial investigations have revealed that an informant who worked with a political group and his family members were gunned down brutally.”

The Sri Lankan military said it has sunk 12 boats of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and killed 80 of its cadres in a sea battle off the northern Jaffna peninsula on September 1-2, according to BBC.

Five Sri Lanka Army (SLA) soldiers were killed and four others sustained injuries when cadres of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) launched an artillery and mortar attack towards troops in the Muhamalai area of Jaffna district on October 8. Troops retaliated with artillery and mortar and repulsed the attack. The outfit’s military spokesperson, Rasiah Ilanthirayan, told BBC Sandeshaya that they launched an attack on a reconnaissance team of the SLA who tried to enter the outfit-held territory through Muhamalai and claimed that there were no LTTE casualties, adding, “We believe the military is gathering intelligence in preparation for a bigger offensive in the north.” Denying LTTE accusation, military spokesperson, Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe, told BBC Sandeshaya that the LTTE launched artillery attacks on SLA positions near Muhamalai Forward Defense Line (FDL), adding, “We don’t need to enter LTTE-held territories. We only retaliated when they attacked our position.”

At least 50 Sri Lanka Army (SLA) personnel, including seven officers, were killed and another 214 were injured in continued fighting between Government troops and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) at the Muhamale and Kilaly Forward Defence Lines (FDLs) of security forces (SFs) since October 10-night, according to SLA reports. The Defence Ministry said, "Troops are consolidating their positions after fierce gun battles that lasted for over five hours. Intermittent fighting however still rages on. Ground troops confirmed that a large number of terrorist dead bodies were also found scattered around their forward defence lines. Troops were compelled to launch those defensive measures as a result of the increased bout of LTTE violence against members of the Security Forces, disrupting the regular opening of the A-9 Highway." A senior military officer told The Hindu, "The number of soldiers killed is higher but we are not updating the casualty figure at the moment. The military has suffered high casualties because it did not anticipate such resistance from the Tigers."
