(260306) -- COLOMBO, March 6, 2026 (Xinhua) -- People from the Iranian naval vessel IRIS Bushehr are evacuated to Colombo Port, Sri Lanka, March 5, 2026. A total of 204 people from IRIS Bushehr have been brought to Colombo Port, the Sri Lanka Navy said on Friday. IRIS Bushehr is an Iranian naval vessel which had taken part in a 2026 International Fleet Review, a cooperative maritime exercise held in India along with IRIS Dena, which sank off the island's southern coast after a U.S. submarine attack on Wednesday. The vessel sought permission to enter Sri Lanka a few days ago, and President Anura Kumara Dissanayake said the government decided to grant entry on humanitarian grounds. (Xinhua)
