Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) Kfir bombers attacked Paranthan, a key junction north of Ki'linochchi on Thursday and Friday, dropping bombs on shops and offices. Latest air attack was reported at 3:30 p.m. Friday. Meanwhile, artillery barrage that targeted Paranthan and Ki'linochchi suburbs continued despite pouring rain and floods during the past five days, according to farmers who fled the low-lying cultivation lands in the region.

Also another location, southeast of Tharmapuran, was bombed by the SLAF bombers Friday evening. Details of destruction caused by the air-strikes were not available at the moment as public communication facilities remained limited due to the recent floods in Vanni.
