The Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) has accused that the massive daily intrusion of fishermen from Tamil Nadu in southern India into the Sri Lankan waters very near Mannar and Jaffna is posing a major security threat to north Sri Lanka. "They not only poach fish, but smuggle in fuel and other war-like material for the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam)," SLN spokesman Commodore DKP Dassanayake told New Indian Express in Colombo on July 8. For example, between June 6, 2007 and July 7, 2008, as many as 6,839 Indian fishing boats were seen off the north Sri Lankan coast, especially Thalaimannar, Pesalai and Delft island, he said, adding that "These boats carry fuel, bicycle balls and explosives for the LTTE. Several of them have been seen heading towards Vedithalthivu and other places, presently under the control of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam. We also learn that each boat gives 20 litres of fuel as a bribe to the LTTE to be able to fish in this area. Just imagine the amount of fuel that the LTTE must be getting on a daily basis from these fishermen."

Fierce fighting continued in the south and east of Vedithalthivu as the troops surrounded the biggest Sea Tiger (the sea wing of the LTTE) base on the Western coast in North Mannar. "The LTTE had vacated some locations in Vedithalthivu by last evening as they felt the area was being surrounded by the troops," Army Commander Lt. General Sarath Fonseka told Daily News. Sources said that the militants started fleeing further north of Vedithalthivu after loading their belongings into trucks as troops advanced into the territory.
