The Maldives Police Service will verify the sensitive details and provide further updates to the media,” the police communicated to journalists. Despite the retraction, the operation is still ongoing in Male’.
Reports indicate that the operation, led by police counter-terrorism units, began several days ago, with searches continuing at various locations in the Male’ area.
The earlier statement mentioned, “The Maldives Police Service and the Maldives National Defence Force are conducting a special operation in the Male’ area.” No additional details about the operation have been released.
