Sri Lanka commemorates 14th War Heroes Day

Sri Lanka on Friday commemorated the War Hero’s Day, marking the 14th anniversary of the military’s triumph over the LTTE, which fought a three-decade-long armed conflict for a separate homeland for the minority Tamils.
President Ranil Wickremesinghe, Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena, the main opposition leader Sajith Premadasa, and the military top brass paid floral tributes to the fallen soldiers at the event, which marked the 14th anniversary of the elimination of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE).
