Sri Lanka has successfully discharged 22 Iranian sailors from the Karapitiya Hospital after they were rescued from life rafts following the sinking of their warship, the IRIS Dena, by a US submarine. The sailors had been treated since Wednesday and are now being relocated to a beach resort in Galle while the search for other survivors continues, with over 60 still missing, according to reports from South China Morning Post and Channel News Asia.

Amid these developments, Sri Lankan authorities confirmed that the survivors are being treated according to international humanitarian law. The government has engaged the International Committee of the Red Cross for assistance in managing the situation. An additional 10 sailors remain hospitalized while the bodies of 84 others have also been recovered and are currently at the hospital, as detailed by Dawn and Channel News Asia.

Furthermore, Sri Lanka has provided safe haven for another 219 Iranian sailors from a second vessel, the IRIS Bushehr. These sailors were moved to a Sri Lankan Navy camp, and their ship will be transported despite delays due to engine problems and administrative issues, according to Dawn and South China Morning Post.

In addition to Sri Lanka's actions, India announced that it permitted a third Iranian warship, the IRIS Lavan, to dock on humanitarian grounds as it faced operational issues. Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar remarked it was the "humane thing to do," highlighting the humanitarian aspect of international naval cooperation amidst rising tensions in the region, as noted by South China Morning Post and Channel News Asia.
