Watch: Sri Lanka evacuates 208 crew from second Iranian ship

Sri Lanka is evacuating 208 crew members from an Iranian naval ship IRINS Bushehr stranded near its territorial waters, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake said on March 5, 2026, a day after a U.S. submarine torpedoed another Iranian warship off Sri Lankas southern coast, killing at least 84 sailors and widening the war in West Asia into the Indian Ocean region.
