LTTE aircraft drops bombs on Trincomalee SLN base

subashan

2 light aircraft belonging to the LTTE dropped bombs near Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) base premises in Trincomalee a short while ago. Contrary to pro LTTE media reports, damages caused by the air raid are minimal as the bombing was highly inaccurate and off target. At least 2 bombs were dropped by the LTTE aircraft before they flew back towards Wanni. Although heavy anti aircraft fire was directed from the ground, the planes had flown back seemingly unharmed.

The LTTE, a little while ago attempted to attack the Jetliner troop transport ferry in Trincomalee today. Two gravity bombs were dropped near a Navy Billet injuring a few Naval ratings.

One of the two bombs had exploded. The 'Tiger Air Force' planes had come from the direction of the sea, flying very low, Naval sources indicated. The Jetliner transports large numbers of troops from Trincomalee and back on some nights.

Anti-aircraft guns from the town and China bay had engaged the planes unsuccessfully in pitch dark but had managed to force them away. The Tiger pilots seem to have found it difficult to locate their target.
