Fourteen Indian fishermen accused of poaching in Sri Lankan territorial waters were arrested on Sunday in the seas off the country’s Northern province, the Sri Lanka Navy said on Monday.
The navy also seized the fishing vessel used by the group. The arrested fishermen were handed over to regional fisheries officials for legal action.
The navy said it continues to carry out regular patrols and enforcement operations to prevent illegal fishing by foreign vessels, noting that such activities threaten the livelihoods of local fishermen.
