The advancing 59 Division troops who are now making effective inroads towards the LTTE's eastern coastal garrison township have reportedly taken control over a 3km vital road stretch along the Oddusudan-Mullaittivu (A-34) road following intense battles with LTTE terrorists yesterday (Dec 15).
The road stretch located southwest of Mulliyaweli village is now under military domination, as ground troops said that the blockade would deny LTTE the use of the vital supply route connecting its eastern coastal township.
According to battlefield reports, the 59 Division troops led by Brigadier Nandana Udawatte is fiercely engaging LTTE resistance as fresh fighting has shifted towards the southern outskirts of Mullaittivu. Defence observers, are also of the view that troops would make its presence felt at Mulliyaweli village sooner, which LTTE continues to function as a main terror strongpoint.
