    At least 207 people were, Easter Sunday, killed and 450 hurt in explosions that rocked churches and hotels in Sri Lanka, police say.

    Eight blasts were reported, including at three churches in Negombo, Batticaloa and Colombo’s Kochchikade district during Easter services.

    The Shangri-La, Kingsbury and Cinnamon Grand hotels and one other, all in the capital, were also targeted.

    A national curfew has been put in place “until further notice” and social media networks have been temporarily blocked.

    A foreign ministry official said 27 foreign nationals were among the dead.
