An Indian fisherman was killed and another was reported missing when a Sri Lankan navy vessel and an Indian fishing boat collided off the Delft, Jaffna area last night.
A Navy Spokesman said two other fishermen were rescued and admitted to hospital.
Meanwhile, India's External Affairs Ministry summoned Sri Lankan Acting High Commissioner in New Delhi today morning to register a "strong protest" over the incident.
"We expressed our shock and anguish at the unfortunate loss of life. Our High Commissioner in Colombo will also be raising the matter with the Sri Lankan government later today," according to a statement issued by India's Ministry of External Affairs.
