  • (Main article: Northern Theater of Eelam War IV) The Battle of Kilinochchi was a land battle fought between the Sri Lankan Military and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) for control of the town of Kilinochchi in the Northern Theater of Eelam War IV during the Sri Lankan civil war between November 2008 and January 2009. The town of Kilinochchi was the administrative center and de facto capital of the LTTE's proposed state of Tamil Eelam. The Sri Lankan Army (SLA) conducted an offensive through November and December 2008, during which three attempts were made to capture the town during December. These were thwarted by the LTTE, and both sides claimed that they suffered minimal casualties while inflicting maximum damage on the other during these assaults. The Sri Lanka Air Force launched air strikes against LTTE positions in Kilinochchi throughout this period. On 2 January 2009 divisions of the Sri Lanka Army advanced into Kilinochchi from the northern, southern and western directions of the town, and the LTTE fighters withdrew into positions in nearby jungles. Mahinda Rajapaksa, the president of Sri Lanka, later announced that the military had taken control of the town and urged the LTTE to lay down arms and surrender. However, the LTTE stated that the SLA captured a "ghost town" after they withdrew, and described it as an insignificant loss. After Kilinochchi was captured, several foreign governments urged both parties to seek a political solution. The Colombo Stock Exchange recorded a rise and the rupee stabilised, while celebrators lit firecrackers on the streets soon after the capture was declared. Amidst the celebrations, a suicide bomb attack occurred in the evening in front of the air force headquarters in Colombo, killing three and wounding about 30. The SLA continued to advance into LTTE-held territory, capturing some more strategically important locations, including Elephant Pass and the entire A9 Highway soon after the fall of Kilinochchi.

  • Bitwa pod Kilinochchi (2008–2009) – starcie między siłami rządowymi Sri Lanki a bojownikami Tygrysów Wyzwolenia Tamilskiego Ilamu (LTTE) o przejęcie kontroli nad miastem . Samo miasto było centrum administracyjnym i de facto stolicą rządu tamilskiego na Sri Lance. Armia Sri Lanki (SLA) rozpoczęła ofensywę w listopadzie 2008 roku, a w grudniu 2008 doszło do trzech prób zajęcia miasta. Wszystkie zostały udaremnione przez LTTE, natomiast obie strony twierdziły, iż straty we własnych szeregach były minimalne, podczas gdy straty spowodowane u przeciwnika miały być druzgocące. Podczas trwania ofensywy lankijskie siły powietrzne prowadziły naloty na pozycje zajmowane przez LTTE w Kilinochchi. 2 stycznia 2009 roku armia Sri Lanki wkroczyła do miasta z trzech stron – północnej, południowej oraz zachodniej. Bojownicy LTTE wycofali się do pobliskiej dżungli okalającej miasto. Mahinda Rajapakse, prezydent Sri Lanki, ogłosił przejęcie przez wojsko kontroli nad miastem oraz wezwał LTTE do złożenia broni i kapitulacji. Jednakże rebelianci stwierdzili, iż SLA zdobyło „miasto duchów”, a swoje straty określili jako minimalne. Po upadku Kilinochchi, giełda w Kolombo (CSE) zanotowała wzrost, a kurs rupii lankijskiej ustabilizował się. Natomiast atmosferę świętowania na ulicach Kolombo przerwał samobójczy atak Tamilów przed główną kwaterą powietrznych sił armii lankijskiej. Wiadomość o zamachu nadeszła po zdobyciu stolicy Tamilskich Tygrysów, Kilinochchi przez wojska rządowe. W zamachu zginęły 4 osoby, a rannych zostało około 37. Po zdobyciu miasta SLA kontynuowała ofensywę, zdobywając kilka strategicznych obiektów, w tym bazę wojskową Elephant Pass oraz autostradę A9. (pl)
