Two more soldiers killed

Two soldiers were killed and another was injured in two separate incidents in Vavuniya last evening, a military spokesman said.

In the first incident, two soldiers on picket duty along the Vavuniya-Mannar road were fired at by suspected LTTE cadres at Veppankulam. Both of them were killed on the spot.

An hour later, another soldier was shot by a suspected LTTE pistol gang member at Puvarasankulam in Vavuniya.

The soldier was first rushed to the Vavuniya hospital and later transferred to the Anuradhapura hospital.
