MCNS said that Special Force has launched a multiple attack at a powerful bastion of the LTTE in west coast of Nachchikuda since yesterday morning. It further said that this was the most crucial attack since the fighting commenced last August in the area.
The light infantry was provided assistance with the continuous artillery attacks.

Defense analysts say that LTTE's defense in the west coast would be paralyzed if Nachchikuda would be captured by the forces in operation along A-32 Mannar – Punarin road. It is the LTTE’s main supply route after the closure of the A-9 road.
Military sources said that troops stationed in Kunchikulm and Manniyankulam were advancing attacks at the identified targets of the LTTE while the forward defense line of the LTTE was broken near Jayapuram causing heavy casualties to the enemy within the past 24 hours.
