Responding to The Sunday Island queries, he said that operations had been primarily directed at LTTE fortifications, gun positions, communication facilities and units deployed against 57 Division and Task Force I (TF I) attempting to liberate the Iranamadu-Kilinochchi-Paranthan stretch of the A9 road.
