What Happened
On 2 November 2006, Sri Lankan Air Force Kfir jets dropped 16 bombs approximately 500 meters east of Kilinochchi General Hospital in Anandapuram. Six civilians were killed: a family of five (including two GCE A/L students aged 18 and 20) whose house was bombed, and a 49-year-old hospital patient who was a mother of four and died from shock-related complications. One person was seriously injured. Approximately 500 hospital patients were evacuated, including mothers with newborns and wounded from previous bombings. Students at nearby Central College and Technical College were also affected by the explosion shock waves.
