20 militants were killed as the Security Forces (SFs) foiled a LTTE sea attack by destroying three boats in the Puthukkudiyiruppu area on March 1, according to Hindustan Times. The Defence Ministry said the LTTE launched 15 boats, including four suicide craft, assisted with simultaneous heavy mortar fire at the SFs directed from the declared 'no fire zone' in the region. "LTTE rebels suffered another defeat at Mullaitivu, when 55 Div troops thwarted an rebel offensive attempt North of Puthumathalan by destroying 2 LTTE boats while damaging another in a separate incident," the defence ministry said, adding, “Heavy fighting was reported in the area between security forces and LTTE since last morning till evening. At least 20 rebels were killed in the clashes." Intercepted LTTE communication confirmed heavy damages to the outfit and the ministry added that senior LTTE leaders, including Soosai and Lawrence, had commanded the attack. The Ministry also said soldiers faced heavy resistance from the LTTE cadres who "seemed to have placed all their heavy artillery and mortar guns in the No Fire Zone (NFZ) demarcated for the civilians". One female cadre of the outfit, in the wake of Army operations, committed suicide by detonating a suicide jacket while others went into hiding, added a Sri Lanka Army report.

Military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara told Daily News that troops attached to the 58th Division advancing from the northern region and troops of the 53rd Division entering from southern end of the Paranthan-Mullaitivu (A-35) road joined each other after entering the Puthukuduiruppu town centre and took over the entire Puthukuduiruppu junction area. “Troops captured the entire Puthukuduiruppu town after a week’s prolonged fighting,” he said, adding, troops were marching forward to the East of Puthukuduiruppu to liberate the Puthukkudiyiruppu East. With the fall of Puthukkudiyiruppu, the LTTE is confined to some jungle pockets in Mullaitivu and as per military estimates, the area under LTTE control is now below 50 square kilometres, adds The Hindu.

Heavy fighting erupted between the two sides in the Puthukkudiyiruppu East, Iranapalai East and Palamattalam areas as troops attached to the 53rd, 58th and 55th Divisions further close in on the ‘Safe Zone’ from three directions. “The Safe Zone has now been surrounded from all three directions and troops are poised to liberate the civilians trapped inside the Safe Zone clearing paths for them to reach Security Forces controlled areas,” a senior military official told Daily News on March 29. The LTTE is now fighting within a one square kilometre stretch in the Iranapalai East, the last build up area under LTTE control at present, he said, adding, “Heavy fighting erupted in this terrain as 58 Division and 53 Division troops launched simultaneous attacks on Tiger controlled areas cutting off their last available Supply Routes East of Iranapalai from the A-35 road.” The official said that the LTTE is continuing their battle in this narrow stretch constructing earth bunds on a daily basis and troops have to overrun each earth bund to capture the area. ”With the capture of this last build up area the troops have to cross water filled paddy lands and the lagoon to reach the Safe Zone which is now within sight from all battlefronts,” the official added.
