Colombo : The Sri Lankan navy said Sunday that its fighter aircraft had destroyed a ship belonging to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) that was smuggling weapons.
Military officials said the vessel was destroyed at about 1,000 nautical miles (1,852 km) southeast off Dondra in the south of the country.
There was no response from the rebels to the military claim.
The navy on Sep 10 destroyed three vessels suspected to be carrying arms and ammunition to the Tigers including a bullet-proof vehicle for their reclusive leader Velupillai Prabakaran.
