Two Sri Lankan soldiers were caught breaking into a home in Kilinochchi in the early hours of Thursday morning.

The soldiers were caught trying to break into a home in Poonakary, Kilinochchi by residents at around 3am on Thursday.

The residents shouted for help causing neighbours to gather.

The soldiers were caught and handed over to Mulankavil police.

Locals of the area (Kariyalainagapaduvan - Ganesh Kudiyiruppu) said that they have been facing harassment and intimidation for a long time from the military camps in their midst and that this was the first time they had caught the culprits red-handed.

Sri Lanka is one of the most dangerous places in the world to be a journalist. Tamil journalists are particularly at threat, with at least 41 media workers known to have been killed by the Sri Lankan state or its paramilitaries during and after the armed conflict.

Despite the risks, our team on the ground remain committed to providing detailed and accurate reporting of developments in the Tamil homeland, across the island and around the world, as well as providing expert analysis and insight from the Tamil point of view

We need your support in keeping our journalism going. Support our work today.
