A Bell helicopter belonging to SLAF has been attacked by tiger terrorists today. The craft which was attacked this evening made an emergency landing at Anuradhapura.

This Bell helicopter was the only craft left for SLAF to transport those soldiers injured in operations being carried out in the North.
The damage from the attack to the craft is not known yet.
