2 Sri Lankan gunboats destroyed in the seas off Vadamaradchi, Jaffna

[TamilNet, Thursday, 09 November 2006, 12:45 GMT]

A Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) Dvora Fast Attac Craft (FAC) was sunk by a Sea Tiger flotilla around 5:30 p.m. Thursday in the seas off Point Pedro and another SLN gunboat was damaged around 6:00 p.m. off Valvettithurai by the same flotilla which chased the SLN vessels into Kankesanthurai harbour, eyewitness reports in Vadamaradchi said. Meanwhile, Liberation Tigers Military Spokesman Irasiah Ilanthirayan told media that the ongoing sea clash erupted when the Sea Tigers were provoked by Sri Lanka Navy vessels in the seas off Nagarkovil in LTTE territorial waters. At least 18 SLN sailors were reported missing in the clash.

Two Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) Kfir bombers flew over the waters attempting to chase the Sea Tiger flotilla, the eyewitness reports from Point Pedro said.

A SLN gunboat has come under sieage, according to the sources in Jaffna.

LTTE military spokesman in Kilinochchi, confirming the destruction of a Dvora FAC and damage of another SLN vessel, said the Sri Lanka Army was continously engaged in heavy artillery shelling in Muhamaalai and Nagarkovil FDL areas.

Meanwhile, a military official in Colombo, speaking on condition of anonymity said more than 18 SLN troopers were missing in the seas off Point Pedro. The military officials also claimed that a Sea Tiger boat had sustained damage in the clashes.

Further details are not available at the moment.
