LTTE, SLA clash in Jaffna lagoon

Featured Replies

A clash between Sri Lanka Army (SLA) and Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) erupted Tuesday around 7:45 a.m in Jaffna lagoon near Ko’lumpuththu’rai when SLA troops in the sentry posts along the lagoon shore attacked LTTE boats, sources in Jaffna said. LTTE retaliated from their boats and the fighting lasted for nearly fifteen minutes, the sources said.

The SLA, from its artillery bases in Jaffna peninsula, launched rocket fire towards LTTE held Poonakari, across Jaffna lagoon, according to the sources.

Fishermen fishing in the area rushed back to the shore and tension prevailed in Ko'lumpuththu'rai.

Normalcy returned to the peninsula when the shelling stopped after thirty minutes, the sources added.
