The advancing troops are soon expected to overrun the Vidattaltivu Sea Tiger base - the last enemy supply base on the Western Coast - according to military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanayakkara.The base is already under siege, forcing the LTTE to withdraw from the area."Troops are some two and half kilometres away from the LTTE coastal stronghold of Vidattaltivu and troops are now putting pressure on the rebel base," said Brigadier Nanayakkara.So far the military had captured 148 square kilometres of the Mannar district, where the 58th Division is conducting military operations. Last Monday, the 58th Division based in Mannar area and the 57th Division in Vavuniya linked up after fierce fighting during the last few days.</blockquote>
