The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has warned civilians not to board any Sri Lankan vessels traveling between Trincomalee and Jaffna as it has decided to attack such vessels, reported Colombo Page. The Tigers' clandestine radio - Voice of Tigers (VOT) - said, "We are going to take immediate steps to disrupt the movement of the Sri Lankan armed forces in the sea; civilians are advised not to board any such vessels."

Thamilselvan, told visiting Norwegian Ambassador Hans Brattskar in Kilinochchi that the LTTE must launch a defensive operation as Sri Lankan troops in the Weli Oya region have launched a "major offensive" against the LTTE in the Mullaitivu district.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) political head S.P. Thamilchelvan, stating that the air strike by the outfit on the Sri Lankan Air Force (SLAF) main base in Katunayake was "a one hundred percent successful mission," told media in Kilinochchi on March 29 that the "precision air strike" by the outfit on the SLAF was a "clear message" to the Sri Lankan State, to end the sustained bombardment of the Tamil homeland, according to Tamil Net. "Within the last 6 months alone, the Sri Lankan Air Force has carried out at least 2 sorties every other day for more than 90 days. Hundreds of Tamil civilians have been killed, many wounded, and hundreds of thousands have been displaced due to the repeated bombardment," he said, adding, "More than one third of the Tamil population in the eastern districts have been forced to lead a miserable life as Internally Displaced Persons due to the military aggression." He claimed, "Our military infrastructure operates in the very same way as any other conventional military infrastructure of a State. Our forces are built and trained for the purpose of achieving freedom for our motherland and to consolidate it. Our struggle is aimed at achieving our own freedom, and we are no threat to anyone else other than the oppressive Sri Lankan State we are fighting against."
