Armoured tanks deployed in and around Ariyalai point in Jaffna after observing the presence of about seven Sea Tiger boats directed 100-mm fire rounds on April 9-morning between 10:20-10:30am, causing one of the boats to explode. The boats were reportedly on a reconnaissance mission with loaded explosives. Less than an hour later, the troops detecting one more LTTE boat in the Jaffna lagoon area opened heavy fire on it. However, troops restrained from further firing since the LTTE boat managed to creep into fishing boats in the seas. Later, the dead body of a suspected LTTE militant was found washed ashore, Colombo Page reported.
