The Sri Lankan Army, on April 25, launched a fresh offensive in Jaffna code-named Agni Khiela/ Agni Kheila. The offensive commenced just as the rebel Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam’s (LTTE) unilateral cease-fire in force since Christmas Day 2000 came to an end at midnight April 24, following an LTTE decision not to extend the cease-fire. Preliminary information released by the Sri Lankan Army said that the operation was launched "to further expand the areas controlled by the Security Forces in the Jaffna peninsula". Other sources held the operation is intended to capture the Elephant Pass, the gateway to the Jaffna Peninsula, which the LTTE overran in the year 2000. Ground units of the Army were supported in their advance by Air Force jets. The Air Force also launched separate attacks in Pallai and Elephant Pass areas. Fierce fighting raged along the Kilaly-Eluthumadduval-Nagarkovil axis. The Army said government troops had captured eight sq. km. of territory. During the offensive two officers and 30 soldiers were killed, while 180 more were wounded. The LTTE lost 75 cadres with over 300 wounded. Pro-LTTE sources, however, contradicted official claims and said the Army had reassigned troops as well as slowed down the pace of its attacks owing to heavy resistance and counter-attacks by the rebels. Pro-LTTE sources did not immediately give details of LTTE casualties, but said more than 400 government troops were wounded in the clashes.
