Bombers flying over Kilinochchi for two hours on two consecutive nights panic residents
On 23 and 24 June nights bombers belonging to the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) flew over Kilinochchi town from around 7.30pm till 9.00pm panicking the residents.
The time when this occurred is a time when people are usually busy at home and students are busy with their homework. The residents unable to ignore the sound of the bombers went and spent that time in the bunkers or stayed alert ready to run to the bunkers. Many of the residents, who lived in Jaffna during the 90’s as students, spoke of how they studied with a small lamp inside the bunkers. During the day the town is buzzing with various stories for these long hours of flying without actually dropping any bombs.
