The Sri Lanka Government on November 10 expressed its regret over the killing of civilians in Vakarai and accused the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) of using civilians as a human shield. Government defence spokesperson, Keheliya Rambukwella, said, “While we regret this whole episode, we also must say that national security is uppermost in our minds and actions by the defence authorities were inevitable. The LTTE is using humans as shields to cover their operations. This is exactly what happened when they fired artillery and mortars from that end to the government side.” Denying media reports, he said that only 23 civilians were killed and 125 others injured, adding, “We are not trying to cover up anything and there will be an investigation.” He reiterated that security forces (SFs) launched the retaliatory attack at Kadiraveli after thoroughly verifying the facts obtained through Radar plots.

Dasanayaka, adding, two suicide boats rammed into to two Dvora fast Attack Craft escorting ‘Green Ocean I’, destroying one and damaging the other.
