Posted on 06:56 by Unknown
The Sri Lankan Government says its armed forces have entered a strategically important town in the north of the country.
Until now it has been under the control of Tamal Tiger rebels.
Troops entered Tamil Tiger-controlled Punareen this morning according to Sri Lanka's Ministry of Defence.
A statement said soldiers had crossed the marsh lain south of the town during the night and then marched into what was described as the rebels' last bastion on the western coast.
It added that the Tigers were putting up stiff resistance and pitched battles were still going on in the area.
