Sri Lanka has expressed deep concern over the reported drone attack on the United Arab Emirates’ Barakah Nuclear Power Plant, warning that any damage to nuclear facilities could pose serious risks to civilians across the region.
In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sri Lanka said such incidents were particularly concerning as the region is home to large expatriate communities, including Sri Lankans.
The Foreign Ministry noted that any threat to nuclear facilities could have far-reaching consequences for civilian populations and regional stability.
Sri Lanka also called on all parties involved to exercise maximum restraint and prioritise dialogue and diplomatic engagement amid rising tensions.
The statement comes as concerns grow over escalating instability in the Middle East and its potential impact on regional security. (Newswire)
