Sri Lankan navy at their finest, outsmarted by some Indian fishermen, LOL

-------------------------------------

A group of Indian fisherman who had strayed into Sri Lankan waters last night to poach had opened fire on the Navy which approached the fisherman to investigate their illegal presence. The Sri Lankan Navy said it did not retaliate as some 400 Indian fishing boats had crossed into Lankan waters.

-------------------------------------

Two fast attack craft (FAC) of the Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) came under small arms fire from a number of smaller Indian fishing boats in Thalaimannar area yesterday at around 6PM.

Two FACs on routine patrol in Mannar region were sent to investigate reports of a large number of vessels docked in Thalaimannar area. When SLN crafts first approached the suspicious boats, the fishermen had requested help from navy citing technical problems. However the fishing boats had opened fire on SLN vessels when the naval personnel tried to investigate the legality of their docking. SLN had not returned fire using the medium caliber cannons on board the FACs, in order to avoid civilian casualties that would have otherwise caused diplomatic issues between India and Sri Lanka.

According to SLN sources there are about 400 such Indian fishing boats that had illegally entered Sri Lankan territorial waters.
