Sri Lanka's army says it is continuing to make advances into Tamil Tiger territory, with the president saying the war is "rapidly" nearing an end.
Mahinda Rajapkasa said that Sri Lanka was on "the threshold of a new era of lasting peace".
Troops were advancing in the designated no-fire zone in the north-east amid stiff rebel resistance, the defence ministry website said.
The pro-rebel TamilNet has urged the US to find a "political balance".
The area still under rebel control is down to about 5 sq km (two square miles).
