Another Sea Tiger camp captured

Troops, now closing in on Mullaitivu stormed the LTTE’s famous “Pasarai” Sea Tiger base in Andakulam in the Welioya sector and took over the entire complex with triangular bunkers providing overhead protection on Monday.

The Sea Tiger camp, believed to have been used by terrorists operating as Sea Tigers had two separate huts which served as sentry points.

The camp has been surrounded by three triangular-type tall bunkers with overhead protection layers made of concrete. The troops continued to engage terrorist bunker lines and also fired artillery rounds against their positions.

Troops also came across 147 anti personnel mines and seven Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) hidden by terrorists.

During those clashes at least seven more Tiger terrorists were killed and 14 suffered injuries.
