Thousands of protesters broke through police barricades and stormed the president's official residence during the anti government protest in Colombo. Protests have been rocking the country for over three months, calling for the resignation of the president and prime minister over the alleged failure to address the economic crisis. Sri Lanka faces its worst-ever economic crisis in decades due to the lack of foreign reserves, resulting in severe shortages in food, fuel, medicine, and imported goods. EPA/CHAMILA KARUNARATHNE
