A US warship was attacked off the Sri Lankan coast in the Indian Ocean, leaving over 100 people missing and 78 injured who have been brought to hospitals, according to official sources in Sri Lanka. Shashi Dhantunge, former head of Sri Lankan Shipping Corporation, described the incident as ‘totally unexpected’ and noted that Sri Lanka ‘never expected this to come this far so soon’. The attack has raised concerns about the vulnerability of shipping routes and port traffic in the Indian Ocean region. Dhantunge highlighted worries about potential impacts on insurance and freight rates, which could affect the cost of living. He emphasised that this is the first such situation since World War II and called for regional cooperation to prevent further escalation. The incident has particularly concerned countries in the Indian subcontinent that rely on these strategic maritime trading routes.
