This Morning LTTE infiltrators caused destruction to public property in the predominantly Muslim township of Muttur. The LTTE caused damage to the hospital, telecom office, and other public buildings in a rampage of indiscriminate destruction.

The security forces are in pursuit of these disruptive elements. It is expected that the search operation for the LTTE infiltrators will be completed shortly.

This action of the LTTE targeting the civilian population has caused displacement and hardship to the residents of Muttur. The Government Agent is taking all necessary measures to provide relief supplies and essential services to the affected population.
