The line was breached from the western  and eastern flanks forcing the Tigers to abandon the line and move to its  center.Troops have now bypassed the line and positioned themselves to  the rear of the bund. With this lightening strike, the earth  bund has lost all its significance as a defensive measure designed to delay  troop movement towards Kilinochchi Town.For the  Army, the attack demonstrates a new urgency to capture Kilinochchi before the  rainy season continues into November. Kokavil and  Akkarayan are renowned for their susceptibility to flooding during the  northwestern monsoon season. Kokavil is especially vulnerable due to its  low-lying terrain. The tank at Akkarayan and the nearby ravines are also  susceptible to overflowing during the monsoon. Experienced soldiers who have  fought in this terrain, like Maj. Gen Chula Dias for example, should know this  terrain by heart.The 57 Division's  thrust to capture Kilinochchi must and probably will go into high gear from now  onwards. The Army must not get bogged down in  Kokavil for the entire duration of the Monsoon. The Tigers on the other hand  would want the Army's advance in these areas to be delayed as much as possible,  through both military and political tactics. But the LTTE's military  capabilities are crumbling as we speak.The LTTE is now showing  signs of abandoning the Nachchikuda Sea Tiger base by sea. The  58 Division surrounded the base in a U-shape after tactical maneuvers to the  east and then to the west, cutting off the A32 road. Tigers had escaped towards  Nochchikudah in Pooneryn on a few previous occasions already.Although  exact troop strength inside the besieged base is unclear, the SLA is expecting some resistance to overrunning the base.  Sri Lanka Navy's arrow boats and SBS  units have been deployed to cut-off any further major escapes from  Nachchikuda.58 Division's laborious  operations to dismantle the Nachchikuda-Akkarayan trench is paying rich  dividends. Although weeks were spent strategizing the dismantling process, the  fall of Vannerikulam was soon followed by the capture of Manniyakkulam, a Ground  of Tactical Importance (GTI).This GTI was also the access route to  reinforce Nachchikuda from Kilinochchi via Kokavil. Immediately after its  capture, the A32 was also cut-off by the Army. The junction at Maniyakkulam has  a direct route leading to Valaipadu and the jungle areas surrounding it. These  areas must be infiltrated and captured by the 58 before reaching  Pooneryn.</blockquote>
