Subsequently, the army began an offensive against the LTTE on 8 December 2006, in the Batticoloa District with the objective of taking Vakarai, the principal stronghold of the LTTE in the east; the operation was temporarily aborted after a week of fighting due to the large number of civilians in the area and the difficulty in conducting combat operations due to the ongoing monsoon rain. [186] Over the next few weeks an estimated 20,000 civilians fled from to government-controlled areas, fearing the imminent assault. The army launched a new offensive in mid-January, and Vakarai fell to the advancing troops on 19 January. While the offensive in the East was ongoing, the LTTE and others accused the government of murdering 15 civilians in the Padahuthurai bombing on 2 January, when the air force bombed what they claimed to be an LTTE naval base in Illuppaikadavai in northern Sri Lanka. [187] [188] The loss of Vakarai had been predicted to cut off supply routes of the northern Tigers to their cadres in the east, thus weakening the Tigers' already diminishing grip on the east.

On one side, he knows the secret about Prince Angad's true father and wishes to use it to conquer Kishkindha and merge its army with his depleted one. He also wants to be declared a Living God by the Council of Wise Men in Mithila. This becomes the primary reason why he wants to marry Princess Sita, the prime minister of Mithila, but is heavily humiliated by the underhanded tactics of the Malayaputras and Sita, who wants to marry Ram. Raavan besieges Mithila with 10,000 of his soldiers-cum-bodyguards, and Ram, the now husband of Sita, is forced to use the biological weapon Asurastra by Viswamitra, even though its use is forbidden by Lord Rudra. The Lankan army is defeated and Raavan escapes on his helicopter, Pushpak Viman but ends up unintentionally inflicting a life-crippling blow to his brother. He ends up shelving his plans of Kishkindha and Mithila and focuses more on Kumbha's health.

Beginning on 23 July 1983, it was an intermittent insurgency against the government by the Velupillai Prabhakaran-led Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE, also known as the Tamil Tigers). The LTTE fought to create an independent Tamil state called Tamil Eelam in the north-east of the island, due to the continuous discrimination and violent persecution against Sri Lankan Tamils by the Sinhalese-dominated Sri Lanka government.
