18 May - Victory Day Sri Lanka


 

Victory Day in Sri Lanka, also known as "Ranaviru Day" or "War Heroes' Day," is commemorated on May 18th each year. It marks the end of the Sri Lankan Civil War in 2009, when the Sri Lankan government declared victory over the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), ending decades of conflict.

The day is observed with ceremonies and events across the country to honor the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to protect the nation's integrity and unity. It's a day to remember the bravery and dedication of the armed forces, as well as to pay tribute to the civilians who were affected by the war.
