The Sri Lankan Army’s (SLA) Deep Penetration Unit (DPU) carried out two claymore attacks in LTTE areas yesterday, 20 July. One attack wounded officials of the Northeast Irrigated Agriculture Project (NEIAP) and the other attack wounded three Tamil Eelam Auxiliary force members.
Three officials of NEIAP and their driver were wounded when their pick-up vehicle hit a claymore planted by the SLA in the LTTE area of Kokupadaiyan, Mannar on Thursday, 20 July around 2.45 pm. The four injured suffered minor injuries and were treated at Murunkan District Hospital. Three Tamil Eelam Auxiliary force members were injured in the LTTE area of Semamadu, Vavuniya by a claymore planted by the SLA on Thursday, 20 July around 11.45 am.
