The Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) in a long sea battle off Pulmoddai yesterday (27) foiled an LTTE attempt to evacuate its trapped cadres in Peraru and Kumpurupiddi jungles, destroying three LTTE boats and killing over a dozen sea tigers, security sources revealed. Clashes erupted at about 11p.m, when naval patrol craft intercepted a cluster of 20 LTTE boats proceeding from Nayaru towards Pulmoddai, naval sources said. It has been revealed through intercepted LTTE communication that a self-styled LTTE "Lieutenant Colonel" identified as Nishanthan to be among the many others killed. Reports also confirmed that a sailor was killed while another sustained injuries during the confrontation.
