COLOMBO (AFP) — At least 15 people have died following heavy monsoon rains and flash floods in Sri Lanka's capital and nearby coastal areas, police and hospitals said Friday.
Three people were killed in the capital on Thursday, all of whom drowned after falling into unprotected drains or manholes, a spokeswoman for the Colombo National Hospital said.
Heavy showers also damaged the roof of the country's parliament, while parts of the main Galle Road in Colombo were washed out, police said.
