The battle of Puthukkudiyirippu was different from other battles because the area was an urban terrain. Both parties adopted hit and run strategies until a decisive battle was fought in Anandapuram junction where more than 600 LTTE carders and an array of top leaders were killed in five days.[1][2] A major tiger offensive was met with a counter offensive, outflanking and encircling an entire division of LTTE in an area of 2 square kilometers.Шаблон:Citation needed
