An armed group claiming themselves to be from the Tamileela Makkal Viduthalai Puligal (TMVP), the ruling party in the Eastern Province, took control of a deserted building at Thambalagamuwa in Trincomalee on August 17, reports BBC Sinhala. Journalist R.G. Dharmadasa who visited the area on August 18 said that he noticed that the group has written TMVP in Tamil and in English on the front walls and armed persons with T-56 automatic rifle and bullets were protesting at the premises. Maran, who introduced himself as the leader of the group, told the journalist that they decided to camp in the area to prevent increasing abductions reported from the area. Also, the TMVP Trincomalee district leader told BBC Sandeshaya that the camp is a political office of the TMVP. However, Police spokesman Ranjith Gunasekara said he was not aware of any TMVP camp in Thambalagamuwa. The Free Media Movement alleged that a TMVP supporter threatened journalist Thakshila Jayasena from the BBC Sandeshaya when he was covering a protest campaign by the main opposition United National Party.

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) using a small aircraft dropped two improvised bombs on Trincomalee naval base on August 26-night, reported Colombo Page quoting defence sources. The Defence Ministry said the LTTE launched the air raid on the naval camp at about 9:15 pm (SLST). The Ministry citing naval sources said the Sri Lankan Air Force detected the approaching LTTE aircraft around 9 pm and alarmed the Navy base. Naval troops then fired at the aircraft which forced the aircraft to flee without being able to enter into the naval dockyard. Naval sources confirming the attack on the Trincomalee Navy base said the raid caused minor damages and added that one bomb out of the two dropped failed to explode. Four sailors were injured in the attack. Meanwhile, the pro-LTTE website Tamil Net claimed that 11 sailors were injured in the incident.
