Sri Lanka’s military says it’s captured a town controlled by the rebel Tamil Tigers deep inside the rebels’ territory.
The Tamil Tigers have controlled Kokavil since 1990. It’s only a few kilometres from the LTTE defacto capital, Kilinochchi.
It’s not possible to independently verify the army’s claims.
But as Al Jazeera’s Minelle Fernandez reports, the Tigers remain defiant.
