25 more LTTE militants were killed and two soldiers sustained injuries as the SFs engaged in operation ‘Rice Bowl’ on the Mannar Front fully captured the Andankulam area and 13 square kilometres surrounding it on June 27, an unnamed senior military official told Daily News. According to sources, the LTTE has lost almost all the bases they had within the Mannar ‘Rice Bowl’ area with the fall of Andankulam, the strongest LTTE position in the ‘Rice Bowl’ area, the official added. "Tiger cadres operating there ran out of the area taking all belongings as troops took the area in a surprise move yesterday," he added further. With the capture of Andankulam, troops are in the process of completing the task of liberating the entire Mannar ‘Rice Bowl’ area which is the most fertile land in the Mannar district, neglected without cultivations due to LTTE occupation. The SFs believe that Andankulam was the strongest Tiger base in the area as the LTTE had its main operation rooms in Andankulam.
