Units from the Sri Lanka Army (SLA)’s 53 and 55 divisions have now brought under their control the second LTTE defense line in the Muhamalai/Nagarkovil axis. Tigers had no option but to vacate the FDL when special infantry units from two divisions advanced on them. Exact casualty details are not available as of now. 53 division is commanded by Brigadier Kamal Gunarathne while the 55 division is commanded by Brigadier Prasanna Silva, a former Special Forces commander.
Meanwhile the army’s 58 division (Task Force 1), have entered LTTE dominated territory in Elephant Pass (Alimankada) south. They have also captured two villages located south and east of the Jaffna lagoon. This progress of the 58 division further increases the pressure on remaining tiger presence in the Muhamalai/Nagarkovil and Kilali axis. 58 division is comprised of 11000-12000 troops in four brigades 58-1, 58-2, 58-3 and 58-4.
Meanwhile SLA was also able to make progress in several fronts in Mullathivu district in the past 24 hours. A large portion of A-34 road to east of Mankulam have been captured by Task Force 3 and Task Force 4. LTTE dominated villages of Oddusudan and Thanniuththu are also under the control of these two divisions. Fighting was also reported in Preiya Uppukalamkaimkulamm and Keppal Aru south in Mullaithivu. 15 bodies of slain LTTE cadres have been recovered by the troops. LTTE has been continuous firing artillery from their bases in Mullaithivu targeting SLA positions in Kilinochchi as well as targeting advancing forces in 59 division.
great work SLA.

ReplyDeleteI think thats a mistake in the update. It should probably read casualty figures "not available" rather than "now available".
KillerT,Syler,
ReplyDeleteYes there was a typing error. Exact casualty details are not available. A lot of them seem to be retreating towards Mullaithiv but that's not to say LTTE didnt suffer.
@pundeyeelam,
EPS is a vast stretch of land and after LTTE captured it in 2001 they maintained a series of satellite camps instead of one main garrison. This area is still being cleared and the army has not declared it fully captured yet. But it's expected to come soon.
Thanks DN.
ReplyDeletewaited for almost 30 years. now i can't wait for another 24Hrs, What a turn around.
Thank you SF, MR, GR and Navy, Air Force, Police(Not all of them), and ofcourse our DN & DW Teams.
DN,
ReplyDeleteWhat about the remains of old tanks SLA has found way to Muhamalai after LTTE walk away.
Would those remains get air lifted to Colombo museum for showing LTTE power?
Surly those who waited for over 30 years can see some of the valuable lessons learned.
By knowing DN team, surely you wont reply to me because truth hearts.
"What about the remains of old tanks SLA has found way to Muhamalai after LTTE walk away.
ReplyDeleteWould those remains get air lifted to Colombo museum for showing LTTE power?"
Well it's not only old SLA tanks that are found in EPS. A certain bulldozer demonstrating how even the almighty LTTE can fail, will be the first to be airlifted if that happens.
PS. LTTE didnt walk away from EPS. They were kicked out.
[PS. LTTE didnt walk away from EPS. They were kicked out.]
ReplyDeleteha ha ...fake military expert donkey Mahen got where it hurts...ouch!!!! :) :) :)
Oh what a great News that was
ReplyDeleteCould this lead to the much hoped for encirclement and total annihilation of LTTE forces now effectively trapped between the SLA hammer (from the south) and anvil (from the north) or will they escape?
ReplyDeleteVP isn't stupid so I'm guessing on him having a contingency for this eventuality.
I also presume SLA High Command know this and will try their utmost to annihilate the LTTE forces.
The torching of this TV station is the kind of self-inflicted wound I thought we'd learned to avoid, if no other reason than this: it diverts attention away from the armed forces' performance and allows the LTTE's proxies to show the GOSL in a bad light.
ReplyDeleteBut a note to our Western Liberal commentators about to lambast the GOSL for their inaction.
Just remember how the USAF bombed Al Jazeera in Kabul and Serbian TV in Belgrade etc. And also how the US Army deliberately shot at Al Jazeera news crews in Baghdad.
We know that this was NOT because the US wasn't happy about how their war was being reported :)
After a long silence, I got bit of news. Celltel Mobile phones are working in Vishwamadu. LTTE has banned using phones and Radio/TV at all, but eager people are clandestinely using them to contact relatives to report the situation and ask for help.
ReplyDeleteRecently, a large vehicle convoy has passed South West of Vishawamadu area. It has had two captured Army Buffels, fully camouflaged with branches and treetop matter. There have been over 400 LTTE cadres providing security. People are in the opinion that it was Prabhakaran who travelled. Once the convoy has passed, many explosions have been heard from South side of Vishawamadu, and it is believed that LTTE has blasted the small bridges and sewer ducts along the roads leading to Vishwamadu.
On the other hand, all the refugees have been asked to camp in jungle areas. As they have always done, bigger and better food rations have been given to Maveer and LTTE families. Nevertheless, in order to receive food (government sent) other than very old people, people have to do all the LTTE hard labour.
LTTE has appointed their agents for every 500 families, and people have to report their activities they did for LTTE to get the rations from them. For even small matters LTTE has been severly-beating civilians. People fear that more than 1000 civilians who rebelled against LTTE were executed in the past three months, as they have been taken away by LTTE and not returned to their families.
As reported, whole area is like a concentration camp of LTTE, because the civilians has to do nothing else, but follow orders of LTTE and do LTTE work for food. No sick or elderly being cared by Government Nurses or Dr, because many of the houses and resources have been used to treat LTTE men and women. Two Doctors have been assigned to look after civilians, but they also have been dragged most of times to treat LTTE men and women, leaving sick Children, Elderly etc to be looked after only by their relatives. People are very helpless and are under the tight boot of LTTE. LTTE has almost vacated Mullative, and people believe that the final battle would be in South East of Viswamadu, as it is where Prabhakaran believed to be hiding. Despite LTTE warnings, people are making daring attempts to leave the area and they want government to instruct them what to do through leaflets dropped from air.
Great update Rifard. Hope to hear more from you.

Any news from Tamilnut...
ReplyDeleteI cant access it...????
VP will never come out. He is whole life is inside the bunker,He never trust even the LTTE now,he knows soosai is after him.So telling that VP was traveling is lies. I dont know why you are spreading lies.
ReplyDeleteThere has been a man from Killinochchi suburbs. He has lost his wife to Cancer, and he has brought up three kids with every difficulty imaginable by being a daily waged laborer.
ReplyDeleteLTTE has taken all three kids in three occasions, and all of them have been killed in fighting. Two few years back, and another one very recently. This man has gone semi mad for some time owing to isolation.
Recently, he has refused LTTE commands to dig bunkers in lieu of food asking them to give his kids back.. and has become so upset owing to hunger and deprivation, and has gone mad shouting "death to Prabhakaran".
It has been only less than half an hour, and two LTTE men have come, one being a senior leader and shot this man on the head on the spot while all his relatives and fellow IDPs were watching helpless.
They also have kicked a Maveer woman on the stomach who has tried to rescue him.
They say every IDP area is infested with LTTE intelligence agents, and everything about IDPs are reported to their hierarchy.
People are very scared of LTTE and wants to get out from their clutches at the first opportunity.

ReplyDeleteRamdos, the political licking dog of the Tiges in Tamil Nadu, has changed his tune - suddenly. He says he favours a federal solution as a way out for a discussion.

All,
ReplyDeleteInterview with General Sarath Fonseka
is available via given link.
Way to go General Sir.
I realised there is lot of ignorent sinhalies Srilankans after reading the written comments in Daily mirror newspaper under the topic attacking MTV. Their comments clearly shoe that they were more upset about MTV rather than our solders & innocent people who got killed by the LTTE. The people are blind & ignorent to realise that MTV not only brings the entertainment but also a desguise LTTE Supporter along with RW.
ReplyDeleteSafety of the nation from terrorists come first before the meadia freedom.
I believe those comments come from the UNP rice packet beggers & LTTE supporters.
Defence Column
ReplyDeleteThere's really no need to reply to every distortion the pro-LTTers publish. Canadian govt, law enforcement and intelligence already know the level of teh problem they're now saddled with. On the other hand, there are the anti-LTTe tamil mobs that operate with equal impunity in Canada. So there is a natural balance when these guys wipe out each other.
What's not being published in the news papers is the fact that the SLDF's demonstrated capabilities caught the whole world off guard. Even though the Us was instrumental in providing limited arms and specialized training, even they are stupified by the level of professionalism in the SL Forces. That made an Indian military guy to comment that "it is difficult to imagine the present Sri lankan forces to be the same ones who lost many battles previously."
The LTTE will fight tooth and nail to avoid losing the last sea access, to prevent a stifling death, unheard and unsung, in a dismal place. Our forces will concentrate on capturing the sea front in Mullaitivu to do exactly that. Once cornered deep into the Mullaitivu jungles, the forgotten war will become the one which no one will ever hear about.
Now it is the real chess game being played.
ReplyDeleteWe shoud admitt that, when it comes to military maneuvering Velu has his own ingenuity. He must be plotting a way out of total anihillation and SL army should expect anything unexpected.
I am not talking about Velu's men launching a counter attack as with Uneasing Wave, but a way to avoid capture/death and disappear among civilians, hide in jungles in order to regroup in a later day or to wage a terrorist campaign of a different scale.
And I am sure SL top brass, aware of such an eventuality must be making plans to avoid such an anticlimax. After a two year campaign, when the SL army finally tightened the noose in Mullative (or somewhere in that area) if they don't find a big harvest or something significant in side the loop, that will be a very big dissapointment. As well as a waste of valuable lives and resources.
So both sides must be playing a cunning chess game in the comming weeks. Swift and ingenuine moves will bring huge returns. As well, a small mistake or a moment's carelessness can bring devastating blows costing many lives. Safeguarding Big pieces is importatant as we know it was in oponent's strategy in the past throught to 'remove' Big pieces regardless of the number of own small pieces to sacrify.
And in a different note-
ReplyDeleteI have seen in another blog that LTTE 's main Indian supplier of material for militery uniform (with the signature tiger strip camou) has not supplied the last order due.
This will not have any impact on the battle being faught, but the significance is, it shows LTTE's dwidling influence in spheres other than in the front lines.
Why we need so much troop Concentration in Mulativu.
ReplyDeleteWhy don't we use just FAE, Cluster bombs, Artillery and HMGs.
muru,
ReplyDeletewith you, mate.
but i don't discount the possibility of EXTREME violence. b4 anything LTTE has to win the support of the tamil diaspora. for that, some spectacular attacks may be carried out.
pottu,
ReplyDelete"Why don't we use just FAE, Cluster bombs, Artillery and HMGs."
these are ONLY weapons and equipment, not results.
LTTE is in an area of 160,000 hectares. one volley of MBRL can destroy ONLY 3.5 hectares. one air dropped bomb can destroy only 1 hectare.
without overlapping we need a HUGE amount (2.56 million rockets for RM-70s; more than 10,000 RM-70s; close to 100,000 air dropped bombs) of these which is not at all practical. also there are civilians.
Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteSorry that I have to bring you this link (http://bandaragama.wordpress.com/2009/01/07/01/) as my first post in DN, but this made my blood boil. Look at the way this person humiliate our heroes in the name of media freedom.
In his post he points the finger at our military,
The post heading - "How ‘jaathika veerayaas’ vandalised Sirasa TV"
"While a few men tok up positions outside the premises in militaristic fashion"
"An unexploded grenade bearing military markings was later recovered by the police"
"Most of the terror squad were wearing trousers, tee- shirts and boots. They were young and physically fit and were close cropped and clean shaven"
What is he getting at ? , and I guess that all the organizations in Sri Lanka which predicted the battle losses in Killinochchi and beyond are now scared of the Military and pointing what ever shit happens to them toward GOSL and Military , funny world we're living in.
Keep up the good work DN and fellow patriots/bloggers.

I think this Banadaragama wordpress site is admin'ed by that filthy mangy dog called Shakti in LNP (Go to his memberpage in LNP and you'll see what I mean)
Once LTTE is crushed all these filthy sons of whore's will be forced to flee with their tail between their legs.
Until then, we must take care not to give ammo to these scums. Attacking Sirasa was just the thing they wanted, IMO.....
At a time when SLA is screwing the Fat Pig upside down, we must thread very carefully and be aware that scums like Shakti are waiting to trap us in the wrong foot....

ReplyDeleteNow you have taken the last chance of having the peace.
Do not blame us now on, all those actions taken by you lot.
Rajan,
ReplyDeleteA few questions for you.
"Now you have taken the last chance of having the peace."
What exactly is peace you are talking about? Are suggesting that LTTE adhered to CFA and tried their best to make it a peaceful condition while they were not banned? If LTTE closed Mavil Aru, tried the lives of army commander, tried the life of secretery of defencenot to mention our beloved Lakshmn Kadrigamar, and tried to attack Trinco and Jaffna simultaneously when LTTE was not banned then, how worse it can get for Sri Lanka with the ban?
"Do not blame us now on, all those actions taken by you lot."
Wasn't it Balaraj who said, long before CFA was over, that Eelam War has already begun at a lower intensity. Wasn't in certain TNA MP in 2005 said in the parliament budget debate that they will have their next budget debate in Trincomalee after the Eelam is won?
Who are "us" and "you" as you refer above?

Only way out for LTTE should surrender – Karuna
ReplyDeleteUPFA MP Vinayagamoorthi MurlaitharanSince LTTE is facing annihilation, the only way to avoid disaster is to comply with President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s request to lay down arms and surrender if they wish to live, UPFA MP Vinayagamoorthi Murlaitharan, said at the Parliament yesterday (06).
He stated that the LTTE was no longer in a position to repeat its tactics. The A -9 highway would soon be opened and the Tamils deprived of moving out of the areas under the LTTE control would be immensely benefited.Thereafter the remaining LTTE supporters and sympathizers too would realize their folly.
The LTTE cannot find solutions to the problems of Tamils through war as they are weakening and the only way out is to surrender, he repeatedly said.

ReplyDeletePallai liberated
Sri Lanka Army soldiers have liberated the Pallai town this morning (Jan 8). According to the defence sources in the battlefront, troops of Army 53 Division operating in the Jaffna theatre, have liberated the town after beating off the terrorists .
Army infantrymen of 1Vijayaba Infantry Regiment (1 VIR), 5 VIR, 5 Gamunu Watch (5GW), and 1 Gajaba Regiment are the first to enter into the town where the terrorist earlier had their heavy artillery gun positions.

The same CHUNDIKULAM lagoon area, Fighter jets again strafed a Sea Tiger base and boat movements observed by the Air Force around 7.30 a.m. today (8).
If not for Karunas defection, this would have been nearly impossible. With Karuna's defection, 30% of LTTE vanished. SF is trying to counter RW loosers comments that, CFA helped SLA in defeating the LTTE.

Karuna feels humiliated by Gen. Sarath Fonseka's remarks
(TC)Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Puligal (TMVP)leader and national list MP , Vinayagamurthy Muraleetharan alias “Colonel Karuna” is reportedly feeling humiliated by some remarks made by Army commander Lt. Gen Sarath Fonseka to the media.
According to TMVP sources “Col” Karuna feels that General Sarath had deliberately humiliated him.
According to TMVP sources Karuna had been of immense assistance to the army in its fight against the LTTE by providing extensive information at many levels
Karuna in his all interviews gave SF full credit for the battle success, here is what SF did in return.
ReplyDeleteNot good for the future...

ReplyDeleteMost of the hardware in E'Pass was blown up before the troops vacated. However some arti guns fell to the LTTE.
There was a rumor earlier today that the LTTE aircraft were also staioned close to the lagoon where the boats were attacked today and were destroyed along with them. Is there any update on this story?
Major rift blowing up between soosai and velu apparently. se pussies have backed off from the fight and only a few loyal to velu are attempting to keep the sea passages open. Time to start talking to soosai and target velu's guys.
Major nations gearing to declare combat over in SL, with a view to provide blanket cover for a final 'mop up' without outsider concerns. Govt must make all arrangements to keep civies in Mullaitivu safe nevertheless.
Karuna didn't come over to us out of a choice. He did when he didn't have one. He's not our friend, only the enemy of our enemy. There should always be a bullet with his name on it, somewhere loaded into a gun. This is the brute who slaughtered 600 unarmed police personnel.
ReplyDeleteGen Fonseka deserves full credit for transforming the military into the fighting machine that even foreign military observers call ' amazing' and 'awe inspiring'. One called it 'unlike any other force in modern day, incredibly effective even in fast chaging threat scenarios.' These are great credentials.
Nadesan thinks he will get to see Killi again. Maybe in his dreams, and on TV. Instead of wasting time on false bravado, he should ben over and kiss his monkey ass goodbye, because it is about to part company with him.

ReplyDeleteAppropos article (more like ass scratching conjecture) posted by you-
Anyone with half a brain can imagine a beaten enemy wanting to hit back later. But whether we will allow them to retain that ability or not remains to be seen.
A lot of morons told SL (and the world) that terrorism cannot be defeated militarily. And suddenly that has been proven by the SLDF, to the extent the text books on counter-terrorism now have to be reviewd and some erudite pundits are running for cover. Similarly, the LTTE will also go the way of the dodo, the shining path and chechen rebellion.
Under no circumstances should the SLG ever go back to talking to the LTTE. To prevent a future govt attempting to do that, the UNP must be forced to get rid of the ponsies in its leadership. Sri lankans must tell the UNP leadership that they will nver vote for them until these idiots leave.
After all Brig. Parasnna Silva is back nice to hear that. So this time finish it once and for all man!!!
