Cyclone Ditwa has dominated headlines as its aftershocks linger in Sri Lanka, causing floods and mudslides that killed five and wounded three, prompting school closures in hillside tea regions.
Fresh heavy rains have inundated the central hills of Sri Lanka, following the devastating Ditwa cyclone last November. Five people have died, 129 homes are damaged, and nearly 2,000 residents have been evacuated. Authorities say rescue teams remain deployed as rivers rise and mudslides threaten communities.
