Colombo: A Chinese ship with abilities to track satellites and intercontinental missiles docked at Sri Lanka's Hambantota port this morning amid security concerns expressed by India. Harbour Master, Captain Nirmal de Silva, told NDTV that the Chinese ship arrived at Sri Lankan port at around 840 am.
The ballistic missile and satellite tracking ship, Yuan Wang 5, was allowed to dock at the Hambantota port on the condition that it will not carry out any research while in Sri Lankan waters, news agency AFP quoted port officials as saying.
