Six Maldivians have been arrested in Sri Lanka.

Miuvan Mohamed, Communications Director of the Foreign Ministry, confirmed to RaajjeMV that Sri Lankan authorities confirmed the arrests.

While the Foreign Ministry has not publicized any details regarding the arrests, Miuvan said that the Maldivian Embassy is looking into the matter and urged Maldivian residents to comply with the Sri Lankan authorities.

Four of the men were arrested on Thursday and the other two on Friday.

Sri Lankan authorities are conducting a special search operation following the coordinated attacks on churches and luxury hotels on Easter Sunday, which left more than 250 people dead.

While ISIS has claimed responsibility, around sixty people have so far been arrested in connection to the attacks.
