Boys' hostel comes under SLA artillery fire
A boys's hostel run by the Parish priest of Mullaithivu and the Theogunagar settlement in Mullaithivu came under SLA artillery fire from 11.30am till 2.00pm on 9 December.
The students at the boys' hostel had to run for safety and just managed escape being hit by the artillery. People of the area were too frightened to even undertake short journeys due to the incessant shelling. Over the last three days shelling had destroyed more than 50 houses in the surrounding area.
