A Jaffna home faced its second petrol bomb attack on Monday, as a gang of six men targetted the house and vehicle parked in front.
Witnesses reported seeing the six men arrive on motorbikes. Four went into the property and threw the bomb, whilst two waited outside.
The house, situated in Nayanmarkaddu, was previously attacked in a similar manner.
Locals expressed concern over the rising violence in the Jaffna area despite the ongoing heavy military and intelligence presence in the region.
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
