The village of Wattewewa is northeast of Polonnaruwa and part of the Mahaweli Development scheme area. However it is known as a 'border village' in that it is on the border of the territory where the LTTE is active and the areas which are under the control of the Sri Lanka Army (SLA). Police sources confirmed that the Wattewewa police post had come under attack from the LTTE, but that attack was beaten off.
