Mr.S.Elilan, LTTE Trincomalee district political head Sunday complained to the Sri Lanka Monitoring Commission based in east port town that a group of soldiers of the Sri Lanka Army (SLA) had entered the LTTE controlled area, Aathiamankerni, a village in Serunuwara division and destroyed LTTE camp. This incident took place Sunday around 10.30 a.m., Mr.Elilan said.

“We consider this attack of the SLA on the LTTE camp as a provocative one and a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement,” said Mr.Elilan.

SLA soldiers are reported to have shot and killed a Tamil civilian who came across when they were returning from LTTE area, Mr.Elilan said.
