At least 290 people were killed and hundreds were injured in eight explosions across Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday, The blasts hit several churches and hotels in Colombo and other cities.
Sri Lanka police have found 87 bomb detonators at the Colombo’s main bus station, according to a spokesman.
Over 1,000 army personnel have been deployed to provide security in Colombo, the commercial capital and Sri Lanka’s largest city.
The statement comes after the Sri Lankan authorities announced that they had decided to reimpose a curfew as the country continues to recover from Easter Sunday’s deadly bombings, which killed nearly 300 people across the country, local media reported.
The country launched a massive security operation and introduced an initial curfew immediately following the series of bombings that hit the South Asian nation on 21 April.
The curfew, which ended at 6:00 a.m. local time (00:30 GMT) on Monday, was reset to start at 8:00 p.m. (14:30 GMT) on Monday and end at 4:00 a.m. on Tuesday (22:30 GMT on Monday), the News 1st portal reported, citing the Department of Government Information.
