Sri Lanka Army (SLA) in Oamanthai exit point to Liberation Tigers of Tamileelam (LTTE) controlled region in Vanni on Friday blocked vehicles belonging to Non Governmental Organisations from passing through the exit point, according to NGO sources in Vavuniyaa town. The move comes after SLA shells have begun targeting Ki'ilnochchi and the A9 Road.

Meanwhile, sources in LTTE controlled areas also said there were no NGO vehicles that arrived in Ki'linochchi on Friday. NGO vehicles passed through LTTE checkpost towards Vavuniyaa as usual, the sources further said.
