Naval clashes in eastern seas
A large number of Sea Tiger vessels completed an unspecified mission Sunday (Sep 24) night, despite a five hour battle with the Sri Lanka navy (SLN) in which three LTTE cadres were killed.
Liberation Tigers Military Spokesman Irasaiah Ilanthirayan, confirming fierce fighting between 25 boats of a Sea Tiger squadron and more than 20 SLN gunboats in the seas off Pulmoddai, dismissed the SLN claims that it had inflicted "heavy casualties" on the LTTE.
