According to Daily News, the Sri Lanka Monitoring Mission (SLMM) will continue operational activities in the seas off Trincomalee despite its earlier decision to suspend operations in the entire district. The SLMM had agreed to commence truce monitoring in the seas of Trincomalee from January 18 following an assurance from the Navy to provide them additional security on board Navy vessels. SLMM spokesperson Helen Olafsdottir said they had decided to restrict operational activities to the seas off Trincomalee, but cease to monitor the ceasefire on the ground for the time being. "Our (SLMM) team in Trinco cannot go out or patrol the area because the land is not safe or and conducive for monitoring," Olafsdottir said.

The Sri Lankan Navy and Air Force in a coordinated attack on September 17 sank a suspected Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) ship carrying weapons off the island's northeastern waters. Officials said the Navy spotted the unnamed vessel about 125-kilometres off Kalmunai in the Batticaloa district and ordered it to proceed to Trincomalee port for a search. An air force patrol craft was called in to bomb the ship when it ignored orders and opened fire on the navy. The Defence Ministry said in a statement, "When ordered by navy patrol craft to sail towards Trincomalee for checking, the suspected vessel opened fire. Tigers during the recent past were desperately trying to acquire weapons and ammunition from foreign countries, yet those moves were countered by law enforcing authorities in those countries and many Tiger inmates were arrested." Unconfirmed reports suggest that 12 to 15 LTTE cadres were on board the ship, when it sank.
