The Sri Lanka Navy destroyed two Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) boats off the Kalpitiya coast, killing nine Sea-Tigers in the process, reports Daily News. According to Navy Spokesman Commander D. K. P. Dassanayake, the boats were suspected to be ferrying a large stock of weapons and explosives. A Navy vessel four kilometres off the Kalpitiya Sea had come under heavy arms fire from the two LTTE boats which ignored orders from the Navy to stop. The Navy then opened fire at the two crafts. While the Navy was engaging the Sea-Tigers, two other crafts arrived from the direction of Silawathura from which shots were fired at the Navy. The two crafts were forced to flee when the Navy retaliated strongly, Commander Dassanayake said.

More than 30 Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) cadres are believed to be dead and four Security Forces (SFs) were killed, when a fierce battle erupted between troops and the outfit cadres in the Batticaloa district on March 21, said Military officials according to Colombo Page. The outfit cadres continued to fire artillery and mortars at the Kumburumalai, Siththandi, Black Bridge, Mavedivembu and Chenkaladi Army camps, while at the same time a group of 300 outfit cadres attempted to infiltrate the camps in small groups. The indiscriminate shelling injured many civilians and severely damaged their houses. SFs retaliated with mortar and small arms fire, which killed more than 30 outfit cadres and injured many others. During the mortar attack four soldiers were killed and 14 were injured. In the search operation following the attack, six T-56 assault rifles, a LMG, a RPG, a Bangalore Torpedo and a large stock of ammunition were recovered by the troops. "Eight LTTE bodies were recovered in the search operation and according to LTTE communication intercepts over 30 cadres were seriously injured and were being taken to Thoppigala area," the official said. Following the attack Sri Lanka Air Force struck identified outfit’s targets in south of Vavunathivu area where the SFs believe the Tigers moved in after their failed attack. Meanwhile, LTTE spokesman Rasiah Ilanthirayan confirmed that the outfit had launched a "pre-emptive strike on military build-ups", adding, the aim was to prevent the military entering villages, disrupting harvests and scaring locals away, according to Associated Press.
