Sri Lanka placed under nationwide curfew following deadly bombings

Sri Lanka has been placed under a nationwide curfew, as the government responds to a string of deadly bomb attacks.

More than 200 people were killed and hundreds more injured in eight blasts that targeted busy luxury hotels and Easter services at churches.

The Sri Lankan government has not yet attributed blame for the attacks.

There are also reports of social media networks being temporarily limited to try and stop misinformation spreading.

The BBC reports popular messaging services like WhatsApp and Facebook are said to be unavailable to many.

An improvised explosive device had also been found and disposed of close to the country's main airport in the capital, Colombo.
