Suspected Tamil Tiger rebels have carried out air strikes on oil tanks near the capital, Colombo, and in north-western Sri Lanka, the army says.
The attack in Colombo led to the sound of anti-aircraft fire reverberating across the city, parts of which have been blacked out as a precaution.
The army says that a "terrorist aircraft" dropped two bombs near the military base in the town of Mannar.
The Tigers have not claimed responsibility for either attack.
The group has boasted air strike capability since the first mission of what they call their Tamil Eelam Air Force, or TAF, in March 2007.
