At least 56 people have been killed and 21 remain missing after Cyclone Ditwah struck Sri Lanka, triggering severe flooding and landslides across the island. Heavy rainfall exceeding 300 millimeters in several regions has caused widespread destruction, particularly in the eastern and central districts. The Disaster Management Centre (DMC) reported that 21 people died in a landslide in the tea-producing district of Badulla. Over 44,000 people have been affected nationwide, with homes destroyed and many residents stranded. Schools, colleges, and universities have been closed, and several international flights have been canceled. Authorities have issued a red alert for low-lying areas along the Kelani River, including parts of the capital Colombo, urging residents to move to higher ground. Rescue operations are ongoing, though access to remote areas remains difficult due to continuous heavy rain and damaged infrastructure.
