Sri Lankans storm president's house, office in biggest rally

Colombo, Sri Lanka — Sri Lankan protesters stormed President Gotabaya Rajapaksa's residence and nearby office on Saturday as tens of thousands of people took to the streets of the capital Colombo in the biggest demonstration yet to vent their fury against a leader they hold responsible for the island nation's worst economic crisis.

It was not clear if Rajapaksa was inside his residence but footage s fhowed hundreds of people inside the well-fortified house and on the grounds outside, some taking a dip in the garden pool and others in a jubilant mood.

A government spokesman, Mohana Samaranayake, said he had no information about Rajapaksa's whereabouts.
