Operation Sea Breeze was a combined military operation launched by the Sri Lanka Armed Forces in Mullaitivu. It was the first amphibious operation launched by the Sri Lankan military in its history. The operation was carried out to break the siege and reinforce the Sri Lanka Army camp in Mullaitivu. It was successfully carried out and the area controlled by the camp was extended.
The isolated army camp of a company strength came under intense attack by the LTTE in June 1990. In an attempt to reinforce the besieged camp Major General Denzil Kobbekaduwa, Overall Operations Commander, Eastern Sector immediately executed Operation Sea Breeze. The fast gun boats of the Sri Lanka Navy, SLNS Sooraya and SLNS Weeraya moved in close and provided naval gun fire to suppress LTTE gun points along the coast, covering SLNS Kandula and SLNS Pabbatha to beach three nautical miles north of Mulaitivu and land troops.
