Two unidentified boats were observed by the Sri Lanka Army in the seas off Yala in the Hambantota District last evening. The Army fired warning shots at the boats but no retaliation was offered by the boats. The Army was also unable to verify whether they were mounted with firearms. The Sri Lanka Navy was also called in. FACs from Galle Habour were dispatched immediately. It is now believed that the boats were civilian boats, most probably from a fishing Vadi along the Hambantota coast. No Danger is assumed as of yet. Further investigations are continuing.

Army.lk says
"However, the Tiger (LTTE) terrorist aboard the two boats fled towards deep sea firing at the troops"
I'm surprised they even reported the incident. But if it was the LTTE, I guess it's really to be expected. They are desperate to remind everyone that they remain a threat away from the north and east. And the longer the conflict stretches on in the north, the higher the chances of such an attack taking place.
No Comment on army.lk report. This one you decide.
