Eleven LTTE cadres on board the sunk ship were killed, while three sailors and an officer on board a Sri Lankan Navy patrol vessel were injured in the exchange of fire.

The LTTE has protested the attack "on international waters" and said that the incident would have "far-reaching consequences" on the peace process.
