Thousands of anti-government protesters stormed into Sri Lanka Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe’s office in Flower Road on Wednesday, hours after he was named as acting President.

Men and women breached military defences and entered the premier’s office to raise national flags, according to witnesses who told AFP, after police and troops failed to hold back crowds despite firing tear gas and water cannon.
