Pooneryn, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) bastion in Northern Province, fell to the troops advancing amid heavy resistance on November 15-morning, the military said, according to Colombo Page. Defence sources said the troops are still fighting pitch battles in the area. According to the military, infantrymen of 12 Gamunu Watch (12 GW) and 10 Gajaba Regiment (10 GR) crossed the hostile marshlands in south of Pooneryn on November 14-night and cut off the Pooneryn-Paranthan road (B-69) close to Nallur before dawn on November 15. Troops then marched about 10-kilometers along the B-69 and entered into the Pooneryn town. Meanwhile, the Sri Lanka Air Force MI-24 helicopters and fighter jets carried out a series of raids on LTTE artillery and mortar positions in the Muhamalai area of Jaffna district on November 15- morning in support of the army troops clearing up the captured Pooneryn area. Troops of Task Force 1 took control of Pooneryn and are now engaged in clearing up operations towards Kalmunai Point (K-Point) along the 20-km long narrow land stretch where the LTTE used to station their artillery and mortar batteries, the military said. The LTTE used Pooneryn as a launching pad to fire artillery barrages into Jaffna peninsula and taking control of Pooneryn will also give the troops an easy access to LTTE-held territory. Troops have earlier captured the coastal LTTE base in Devil’s Point along with the Sea Tiger (sea wing of the LTTE) bases at Kiranchi Valaipadu and Palavi. Task Force 1 is now advancing to capture the northwestern coast of the island from Mannar to Pooneryn and open the land route of A-32 to connect the Jaffna peninsula to the mainland.
