Colombo Page reported that in a response to LTTE’s continuing artillery and mortar attacks launched from forest areas east of Oddusudan and Puliyankulam in the Vavuniya district, Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) jets bombed two identified LTTE targets on February 20. “The targeted locations comprised artillery and mortars and a large concentration of Tiger terrorists at the time the Air Force bombed. One of the targets was a training base of the terrorists,” a senior air force official said, adding, from these points, terrorists had attacked Kokkukuduvai and Welioya areas with mortars recently. "We have taken two identified targets which were primarily a training camp of the LTTE and the other was a gun position from where they were targeting our troops," said Military spokesman Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe, according to Associated Press. Meanwhile, the LTTE denied any of their military assets were hit in the Vavuniya district and accused the SLAF of killing two civilians in the air strikes. The outfit’s spokesman Rasiah Ilanthirayan said, "The so-called training centre that the Sri Lankan state is saying is a civilian area, and until now we have recovered two bodies of civilians."

Security forces charged the LTTE of using places of worship for their terror acts after the military found a cache of weapons from St. Mary’s Church in Jaffna on a tip off. Military spokesman Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe told the weekly security press briefing that seven hand grenades, three cyanide capsules, one radio set and jungle boots were found inside St. Mary’s Church Jaffna on February 20. He said, "… It is obvious that they had planned for an attack on the Security Forces using the church premises as cover, thus compelling the Security Forces to retaliate", the Brigadier added. Meanwhile, Defence Affairs spokesman Minister Keheliya Rambukwella stated the LTTE is using religious and public places and all possible people, even Buddhist monks, Sinhalese men, women and journalists to achieve their terror targets.

In a statement the LTTE said that over 1,000 families out of the 3,500 living near the defence lines were on the move.
