Colombo Page quoting Military sources reports that the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) destroyed a Sea-Tiger base in Mannar on January 2. Similarly, SLAF launched an aerial attack on the Panichchankerni LTTE mortar positions in the Vakare region of Batticaloa district and destroyed several mortar and artillery gun positions. "With view to eradicating Sea Tiger capabilities in north of Mannar, SLAF Kfir jets this morning bombed several identified Tiger terrorist targets in Illuppaikadavai, Mannar, and Panichchankerni in Vakarai," Military spokesperson Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe said. He added that the jets bombed targets after conducting surveillance in the area, and this particular Sea-Tiger base had been regularly used by the LTTE to launch deadly attacks on the Sri Lankan naval fleet on duty in the seas around the Gulf of Mannar. Meanwhile, the LTTE claimed that due to the aerial bombing, at least 15 people died and several others were injured. However, the Sri Lankan Government denied that the SLAF bombed civilian settlements. The Media Centre for National Security stated that SLAF Kfir jets carried out air strikes on a well-identified target - a Sea Tiger base in Illuppaikadaval, north of Mannar.

Associated Press reports that the armed men ambushed two camps belonging to the breakaway faction of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) led by ‘Colonel’ Karuna at Valaichenai in the Batticaloa district on January 9, killing several cadres of the Karuna faction. The pro-LTTE Website Tamil Net reported that unidentified assailants killed at least 10 members of the breakaway Karuna rebel faction and wounded four more in the ambush on paramilitaries - the word the mainstream Tamil Tigers use to describe the renegade guerrillas who broke away in 2004, adding, "Two paramilitary installations have been attacked in Valaichenai in Batticaloa district." Meanwhile, the Defense Ministry blamed the LTTE for the attacks. An official at the Defense Ministry's Media Center for National Security (MCNS) in Colombo confirmed the attacks, but said only two Karuna members died and that two were wounded.

The United Nations (UN) has called for the protection of all civilians throughout the island. The UN also said that the situation in Vaharai in eastern Sri Lanka is "grave" and demanded an urgent response. "According to Government estimates, 15,000 people are isolated without access to food or basic supplies as stocks are decimated. Since the 29 November when the last convoy of humanitarian supplies were allowed in, there has been no access to Vaharai for humanitarian agencies," said the UN in a statement. It reminded both the Sri Lankan Government and the LTTE of their obligations under international human rights and humanitarian law, as expressed in the Security Council Resolutions on the Protection of Civilians and the Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.

Four soldiers were killed died and two others sustained injuries when the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rebels fired artillery and mortar shells at the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) detachment at Mankerni in the Batticaloa district on January 13, reports Xinhua quoting defence officials. According to Associated Press, military spokesperson, Brig. Prasad Samarasinghe, said, "They (rebels) targeted our camp in Mankerni with artillery fire late Saturday and we lost four soldiers." Earlier, Sri Lanka Air Force jets damaged a LTTE base in the Verugal area, about 20-kilometers north of the Military's Mankerni camp, said Samarasinghe, adding, in the Ampara district, anti-terrorist commandoes captured two more LTTE bases, bringing the total number of the outfit’s bases captured this week to four. Seven smaller camps have also fallen in Ampara, further south of Batticaloa, the military said. The Special Task Force on January 9 had captured the main LTTE base at Kanjikuduchiaru after launching its offensive code named "Victory Assured" in the area in order to capture LTTE-controlled thickets in the Ampara district.

Sri Lankan security forces on January 19 captured the only Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) stronghold in the eastern Sri Lanka - Vakarai - as thousands of civilians fled the area amidst heavy fighting between the two sides, according to Colombo Page. "Following an hour-long effort, the Sri Lanka Army troops finally liberated the Vakarai town and hospital, which was used as an artillery launching pad by the terrorists," a government statement said. "Since 1996, this town had various problems from the terrorists. However, from early October 2006, Vakarai life was disturbed drastically with the terrorists trying to turn the town into a battlefield. The Army thus launched a rescue mission in early November 2006 and since then closed the gap on the terrorists," it said. According to Military sources, the troops are consolidating their defences in the Vakarai town removing booby traps, mines and various other obstacles, adds Daily News. Defense spokesperson Minister Rambukwella said that the security forces will be able to take full control over Vakarai and Kathirveli areas after flushing out all LTTE cadres very soon. "The Government is confident that the Security Forces will be able to establish civil administration in Vakarai within the next two three weeks to resettle the civilian population," added Rambukwella.

Government promised to wipe out the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) from Thoppigala jungles in the Batticaloa district after capturing the outfit’s stronghold in Vakarai, reports Colombo Page. However, the Government also said that it is ready to hold the fighting if the Tigers agree to come for peace talks. Defense spokesman Minister Keheliya Rambukwella told a news agency on January 22, "Toppigala is a bit of a volatile area, which runs the risk of forces being attacked from time to time, so we will have to eliminate that risk as well. If tomorrow the LTTE says 'we are ready to stop hostilities and get back to the negotiating table', we will stop immediately. If they do not, then we’ll have to liberate the Tamil civilians in the east and then call (the Tigers) for negotiations." He added that the Government was not threatening to banish the Tigers from their main northern base.
