Sri Lanka imposes curfew until further notice
Sunday 21/April/2019 - 02:07 PM
Sri Lanka’s government imposed a nationwide curfew
Sunday that police said would go into effect immediately and would last “until
further notice,” after a string of deadly blasts.
Sri Lanka’s defense ministry initially said the
curfew would be imposed overnight, but the police subsequently said it would go
into effect straight away.
Eight attacks targeted churches and hotels across
the country which was at war for decades with Tamil separatists until 2009
during which bomb blasts in the capital were common.
