Sri Lanka Air Force fighter jets this morning bombed a LTTE military and arms storage complex in Wallipuram, north of Pudukudirippu in northern Sri Lanka.
“Based on ground intelligence after conducting air reconnaissance this target was engaged,” a senior Air Force official said. Pilots confirmed the mission executed successfully, he said.
However, there were no comments from the LTTE about the Air Force latest claims.
Yesterday, the Air Force claimed that its fighter jets pounded a rebel leaders’ hideout and destroyed it successfully.
