Twelve bombs that fell close to three schools in Mullaithivu on 13 September 2007
Sri Lankan Air Force bombs dropped from air exploded around 8.30am on 13 September near three schools, Puthukkudiyiruppu Central College, Srisubramanium MV School and Kompalvil MV School, within two Kms of each other.
 It is not too hard to imagine the chaos. The timing, 8.30am, is when students are gathered outside for the morning assembly. The location is so close to three large schools. The number of bombs dropped was large, twelve. 
Principals of the three schools reported that students fainted in fear and that the chaos was much worse than anything they had experienced during past bombings. The principals cited that the timing and proximity to the schools were the factors for this intense level of fear and chaos. Following the chaos, students left school without any instructions from the principals and the schools were closed. On 17th September Tamileelam Health Services issued advice to people that in order to avoid fainting when bomb explodes too close, while closing the ears with hands the mouth should be slightly opened in order to absorb the shock.
