A baby and a child killed in aerial bombing
A baby sleeping in her cot and a seventeen year old girl were killed and the baby’s mother was injured when Sri Lanka Air Force bombers dropped bombs over their home in Katpadu in Sundikulam in Kilinochchi.
The people in this area are fisher folk who displaced from Vadamaradchi east in Jaffna due to shelling by the Sri Lanka military and were living here in order to continue with their fishing for their livelihood.
Ten homes were destroyed by the bombing.
