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.

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.

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.

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.
