Government forces have been steadily advancing into the remaining territory held by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in the coastal district of Mullaittivu.

The Tiger rebels, meanwhile, hit back by blasting a dam, which released a large volume of water from an irrigation tank at Kalmadu in Mullaittivu district, the defence ministry said.
