One fisherman suffered an eye injury when Sri Lankan naval personnel allegedly pelted stones at his boat off Katchathivu islet today, damaging it.
The fisherman was part of a group of about 3,500 who had put out to sea in 659 boats from here yesterday morning, Fishermen's Association President S Emiret told reporters.
He said the Sri Lankan naval personnel also damaged 50 fishing nets.
The injured fisherman has been hospitalised.
