Navy FACs and Air Force Helicopter Gunships from Hingurakgoda and the #10 Fighter Squadron of the Air Force engaged the Tigers continuously for several hours. Mi-24 Gunships came to the aid of the FACs considering the large flotilla of small and medium sized LTTE boats spotted being launched by Navy. As a result of heavy FAC and MI-24 fire, some boats tried to beach in Mulaithivu, which was spotted by FACs and Aerial Reconnaissance. Mig-27 and Kafir Jets then bombed the beached LTTE boats. All Fighter Craft of the Navy and the Air Force returned unscathed from the offensive. LTTE casualties are yet unclear. More news on this offensive will be posted soon.</blockquote>
