At least four media workers were injured when an unknown group of men stormed a Jaffna-based newspaper office in the military garrison town of Kilinochchi in the early hours of Wednesday, media sources in the Northern Jafffna peninsula said.
“The delivery team was unloading the newspaper bundles from the vehicle at the Uthayan office at Karadippokku junction, located on the Jaffna-Kandy main supply route in Kilinochchi, when the attackers, hiding in the adjoining bushes and building unleashed the attack using poles and stormed them. Four media men were seriously wounded in the attack. They have also smashed the computers and other equipment before fleeing the area,” the sources told the JDS from Jaffna over the phone.
The attacked media men have been admitted to the Jaffna base hospital with serious injuries.
