Sri Lanka’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Arun Hemachandra announced that four Sri Lankan citizens were injured during the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East.
Speaking on the matter, the Deputy Minister said all four individuals had received medical treatment and have now been discharged from hospital.
He further noted that the Sri Lankan government is placing priority on the safety and welfare of its citizens residing in the region. According to him, authorities are continuously monitoring developments through Sri Lanka’s diplomatic missions to ensure the protection of nationals living there.
Meanwhile, tensions remain high as the military confrontation involving Iran, Israel, and the United States continues to escalate.
Although Masoud Pezeshkian reportedly stated that Iran would refrain from launching further attacks on neighboring Middle Eastern states and expressed regret over previous strikes, international media report that Iranian forces have continued to carry out attacks targeting countries including Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
In a related incident, foreign media reported that a Pakistani driver was killed after debris from a drone shot down by an air defense system fell to the ground in Dubai.
