Airman killed in Vavuniya
Sri Lankan Military officials said that an airman was killed and another injured in a claymore mine blast near the northern town of Vavuniya.

Officials said the bomb went off on a road in Vavuniya while the men were on regular physical training exercises Tuesday morning.

Defence officials have blamed the LTTE for the attack.

The area was later cordoned off and a search operation conducted by the troops soon after the attack.
