The pro-LTTE Tamil Party Tamil National Alliance (TNA) has defended the air attacks of the LTTE, according to Daily Mirror. The Jaffna district TNA Member of Parliament, S. Gajendran, participating in the debate on extension of emergency regulations said in the Parliament, "This is only to attack identified enemy targets within Sri Lanka and not to attack India. The government had said the LTTE air power was a threat to India as well. But we are certain the LTTE ‘air force’ was set up only to protect us in the northeast and not to attack any other powerful country like India."

At least 10 sailors were killed when the Sea Tigers, naval wing of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), boats attacked and infiltrated a Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) base on an island off the Jaffna peninsula before dawn on May 24 (today), the military said, according to Reuters. Denying the LTTE claim that 35 sailors were killed in the incident, military spokesperson Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe informed, "The Tigers have attacked a small naval detachment on Delft island in Jaffna. Less than 10 sailors are dead," adding, "We didn't even have 35 people there. That's totally false propaganda." The SLN spokesperson, Commander D. K. P Dassanayake, said that the outfit attacked the navy base at Delft in a flotilla of 15 boats and navy sailors sank one of them in attempts to repulse the ambush, adds Associated Press. The LTTE military spokesperson Rasiah Ilanthirayan, however, claimed that they swiftly overran the base and later found the bodies of 35 sailors. "The fighting lasted only 20 minutes and we completely overran the camp," Ilanthirayan said, adding that the cadres returned to their own base soon after the raid.

The Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) foiled an attack by the Sea Tiger, naval wing of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), on the SLN’s Delft Island base in Jaffna district on May 24-morning, reported Daily News. “The Navy observed two LTTE boats trying to infiltrate the Delft islands. They went into action and attacked the LTTE boats which were spying on the Navy coast guard. Following this, 16 sea Tiger boats including six suicide boats attacked the Navy,” military spokesperson Brigadier Prasad Samarasinghe said, adding, “The sea battle lasted for four hours from 1.30 am to 4.30 a.m. The sailors foiled the attack successfully causing heavy damage to the sea Tiger cadres. We believe that the LTTE suffered heavy damage. The sailors retaliated the attack with the assistance of the Air Force.” According to the LTTE communications intercepts, more than 18 Sea Tiger cadres, including four leaders, were killed, informed Samarasinghe, adding, four sailors were also killed and an equal number of them sustained injuries in the incident. The Navy also destroyed four LTTE suicide boats out of the 18 and severely damaged another two. The LTTE flotilla had come to the Delft Island (42 square kilometres) from Mannar and Pooneryn and attacked the Navy guard from the ground.
