The Sri Lankan Army said government troops on a limited clearing operation, on August 26, 2001, ahead of the forward defence line in the Muhamalai and Kilaly general areas, Jaffna peninsula, attacked the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) rebels and destroyed a section of their first line of defence. Six LTTE rebels were killed in the operation while nine more were injured. An Army officer and 11 troops, too, were wounded in the attack.

The LTTE refuted the Army’s claims of its (LTET’s) casualties and said it had lost only one cadre.
