The Sri Lankan military unveiled a new war monument in the former LTTE stronghold of the Vanni days before Tamils marked 'Maaveerar Naal' - a day of remembrance for fallen LTTE cadre.

The Sri Lankan army website said the monument was built "to pay tribute to brave hearts those who sacrificed their energetic youth, for establishing peace, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Mother Sri Lanka, by annihilating brutal and inhuman terrorism which spread over the country more than three decades".

The monument, located at the Army's newly established headquarters in the Vanni was "named to remember the contribution of the Security Force Headquarters (Wanni), as the main field formation to defeat the terrorism from the soil", the army's website further added.
