The Sri Lankan Embassy in South Korea has assured that no Sri Lankan nationals have been impacted by the widespread forest fires currently ravaging the southeastern regions of the country.
In an official statement, embassy officials confirmed that they are closely monitoring the situation to safeguard the well-being of Sri Lankans residing in the affected areas. The embassy also emphasized that there have been no reports of casualties or injuries among the Sri Lankan community.
With an estimated 35,000 Sri Lankan migrant workers living across South Korea, concerns about their safety heightened as the fires intensified. However, the embassy has maintained that they are actively coordinating with local authorities and providing updates to ensure the safety of their citizens during this challenging time.
The situation remains fluid, but as of now, the Sri Lankan Embassy reassures the public that there is no cause for alarm regarding the safety of Sri Lankans in South Korea. The embassy urges all nationals in the affected areas to remain vigilant and follow local guidelines.
