At least sixty-four civilians, including 15 children, were killed and eighty-six others were injured when a state-run passenger bus carrying 150 passengers was destroyed in a twin side-charger claymore mine explosion in the Anuradhapura district on June 15. The Government's spokesperson on security issues, Keheliya Rambukwella, blamed the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) for the attack saying, "There is no iota of doubt that it is the LTTE." He also said, "There is no declaration of War, the peace agreement is on, but, we have to look at it very seriously", adding that the Government would not hesitate to take military action if needed, to safeguard the civilians. Subsequent to the attack, security forces (SFs) carried out an aerial attack in the LTTE-held Sampoor and Maullativu area and drooped bombs near the outfit headquarters of Kilinochchi on June 16, today. However, no casualties were reported in these incidents. Meanwhile, the LTTE denied its involvement and blamed the Government for the attack. Reacting to the SFs aerial attack, head of the outfit’s peace secretariat, S. Puleedevan, told Reuters, "If they are attacking Kilinochchi, they are showing they are ready for war."

Reuters has reported that Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) conducted air strike, using Kfir fighter jets, on known LTTE targets in the general areas (areas under Government control) of Verugal in the Trincomalee district where the outfit were keeping the sluice gate closed without allowing water to flow into thousands of Sinhalese, Muslims and Tamil villages since July 20. The SLAF spokesperson, Group Captain Ajantha Silva, said, "The government want to send irrigation engineers to the location. That is why we have taken action against identified rebel targets in that area. It was an aerial bombing raid." The Government accused the outfit of blocking water supplies to farmland in Trincomalee, where the Government and outfit both control territory. A Government statement, referring to the air raids, said the "limited operation" was conducted purely on "humanitarian grounds" to neutralize the disruptive forces it said were preventing free flow of water to over 15,000 families. However, S. Elilan, a top LTTE leader in Trincomalee, blaming the military, stated that Sri Lankan air force jets struck three times, wounding two civilians and destroying two houses. He added that the outfit suffered no casualties.

Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) fighter crafts struck selected Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) targets in the east of Mullaittivu district, where the LTTE was reportedly constructing an illegal airstrip, killing six cadres and injuring five civilians on July 27. "We had intelligence that the LTTE is trying to make an airstrip. Therefore the decision was taken to target it," said military spokesperson Brig. Prasad Samarasinghe. The Media Centre for National Security stated, “This morning the security forces conducted a limited air operation against this air facility. The operation was conducted to prevent the construction of this unauthorized air facility which poses a grave security threat not only to the sovereignty of Sri Lanka but to the entire region.” The outfit sources confirmed the air attack but made no mention of the airstrip being bombed, claiming that bombs were dropped “from high altitude near a civilian settlement”.

The Sri Lankan defence spokesperson, Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, said air force jets pounded outfit positions in the area to weaken the insurgents, adding, "There is a plan designed by the military to achieve the target, which is to supply water to the civilians.” He reiterated that air and land strikes will continue until the Mavil Aru sluice is saved from the outfit. Further, according to reports the LTTE cadres in un-cleared areas (area not under government control) of Mavil Aru opened fire towards a school compound and two villages in the Kallar area in an attempt to stop the Government’s efforts to reopen the sluice gates kept closed by the outfit blocking water supply along the Mavil Aru since July 20.

The LTTE alleged that at least 61 school children were killed and 150 injured in an aerial attack by the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) in the outfit-controlled Mullaittivu district. However, the Government claimed that the SLAF attacked a LTTE training camp in Puthukudirippu and killed more than 50 LTTE cadres. "It is a lie to say that schoolchildren were targeted. The Air Force had bombed a LTTE training centre. We don't know if they had moved child soldiers there," said Government spokesperson, Chandrapala Liyanage. However, the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM), whose team visited the affected school in Vallipunam on the Paranthan-Mullaithivu road, confirmed that students had died in an attack. "Yes there is an incident and our team counted 19 bodies of girls and boys in the premises. We believe the death toll of 61 is accurate. However, we are not in a position to comment on what could have exactly happened", a spokesman of the SLMM told Hindu.

The Sri Lankan Navy and Air Force in a coordinated attack on September 17 sank a suspected Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) ship carrying weapons off the island's northeastern waters. Officials said the Navy spotted the unnamed vessel about 125-kilometres off Kalmunai in the Batticaloa district and ordered it to proceed to Trincomalee port for a search. An air force patrol craft was called in to bomb the ship when it ignored orders and opened fire on the navy. The Defence Ministry said in a statement, "When ordered by navy patrol craft to sail towards Trincomalee for checking, the suspected vessel opened fire. Tigers during the recent past were desperately trying to acquire weapons and ammunition from foreign countries, yet those moves were countered by law enforcing authorities in those countries and many Tiger inmates were arrested." Unconfirmed reports suggest that 12 to 15 LTTE cadres were on board the ship, when it sank.
