Home of Sri Lanka’s Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has been set on fire.
Ranil Wickremesinghe had agreed to resign, his office said, to make way for an all-party government.
Thousands of protesters earlier stormed the residence of Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa in Colombo.
Police fired shots in the air but could not stop crowds from overrunning the residence.
There have been months of protests over his handling of the worst economic crisis in Sri Lanka’s history.
The country has run out of foreign currency and is struggling to import basics like fuel, food and medicine.
Many blame the Rajapaksa family, in power for years, for mismanaging the economy and borrowing heavily from China.
