A fishing boat laden with explosives blew up on February 11 off the northwest coast of Sri Lanka after a naval vessel tried to intercept and search it, the Sri Lankan Navy said. A Government statement said it was believed that the boat was carrying weapons to territory controlled by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), according to New York Times. A Navy spokesperson, D. Dassanayake, said the patrol craft's crew saw four men on the boat before it exploded. "The LTTE must have tried to avoid an arms detection and caused the huge explosion," he said. He added that a sailor had been seriously wounded in the blast. "Initial reports from the LTTE indicated one of their vessels were involved in an incident at sea, but they later said they had no involvement," said Helen Olafsdottir, spokeswoman for a team of European monitors overseeing the truce.

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.
