#Pray for Sri Lanka🤲🤲🤲


A series of blasts tore through churches and international hotels in Sri Lanka on Easter morning, killing at least 140 people and wounding more than 300 in what appeared to be a coordinated series of attacks on tourists and the minority Christian community.

There were at least eight explosions in total across the country, with most of them focused on the capital.

Scenes of destruction and injured worshipers and other victims were broadcast by local news stations from several of the churches, one in the capital, one just outside the capital and third in the east of the country. Damage was also reported at three international hotels in Colombo popular with foreign tourists, the Shangri-La Hotel, the Kingsbury hotel and the Cinnamon Grand Hotel.

Another blast occurred in a tourist district near the city zoo in Colombo. There were no early reports of deaths associated with that blast, though local media said two people were injured.

Nine international tourists were confirmed dead by the main hospital in Colombo, according to a spokesman.
