Sri Lanka has expressed deep concern over the reported drone attack targeting 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 noted that such incidents are particularly alarming given the large expatriate populations living in the Middle East, including many Sri Lankans.
The Foreign Ministry emphasized that threats to nuclear facilities could have far-reaching consequences for civilian safety and regional stability.
Sri Lanka also called on all parties involved to exercise maximum restraint and prioritise dialogue and diplomatic engagement amid escalating tensions in the region.
The statement comes as concerns continue to grow over increasing instability in the Middle East and its potential impact on regional security.
