Sri Lanka: 3 SLN Dvora Gunboats Destroyed, says Tamil Rebels

Sep 28, 2007, 04:13

Pulmoaddai - Three Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) Dvora gunboats were destroyed by the Sea Tigers Thursday night when more than 17 Dvora boats engaged in a heavy sea fight with Sea Tiger flotillas in the seas off Pulmoaddai.

3 Sea Tigers were killed in the fighting that broke out at 10 p.m. Thursday and lasted till 3:30 a.m. Friday till the Sri Lanka Navy boats were pushed back to the east port harbor, towing the damaged boats according to the sources in the Eastern Sri Lanka.

Artillery shells also were fired from the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) coastal positions in Kokki'laay, Kokkuththoduvaay and Pulmoaddai, towards the Sea Tiger flotillas.

Sri Lanka's navy says, it sank three Tamil Tiger rebel boats off the island's northeast coast, killing 18 rebels in the heavy sea fight.

"The navy destroyed three boats and after listening to communications they confirmed 18 Tigers killed including a leader," said military spokesman Brigadier Udaya Nanaykkara.

One navy sailor was killed and another injured, he said.

The government claims could not be independently verified.

In recent times, the rebels have taken part in several pitched sea battles with the Sri Lankan navy and there has been heavy fighting in Sri Lanka as the government continues its attempts to break into the rebels territories in the north and east of the island.

The years of 2006 and 2007 marred by a bloody upsurge in violence throughout the island Nation with over 5,400 people killed including 44 aid workers and 10 journalists, close to 500,000 people internally displaced (IDP) while thousands of people were abducted and hundreds are missing in the north and east of Sri Lanka
