Thousands of angry protesters flocked to Sri Lanka's capital, Colombo, to demand the president's resignation, after months of protests over the mismanagement of the economic crisis gripping the country.
Hours before Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa announced his intention to step down, Prime Minister Wickremesinghe's house caught fire after protesters stormed the place.
Videos circulating on social media show flames lighting up the night sky.
The whereabouts of the president is still unknown.
