Sri Lanka's inflation rate climbed to a three-year high, with the Consumer Price Index rising 8.3% year-on-year in October, per TradingView.

The Central Bank of Sri Lanka reported that food and housing costs drove the increase, raising concerns among residents about affordability.

Meanwhile, Indian Navy's First Training Squadron departed Colombo after a passage exercise with the Sri Lankan Navy, strengthening maritime ties, reports The Statesman.

Activists also protested against a proposed law in Sri Lanka, warning of potential torture and human rights violations, as noted by Ucanews.
