The government of Sri Lanka has said it refused a request from the United States to allow two aircraft to land at Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport.
Officials in Sri Lanka stated that the decision was based on national policy and current security considerations, as tensions continue to rise in the region due to the ongoing conflict involving Iran.
Authorities did not provide detailed information about the purpose of the US aircraft, but emphasized that the country remains committed to maintaining neutrality and protecting its sovereignty.
The move highlights growing caution among countries in the region as global tensions increase, particularly in relation to military movements and strategic airspace use.
