Three explosions rocked the Sri Lankan city of Kalmunai on Friday, ONA reports citing TASS.

The incident took place in the eastern part of the country during an anti-terrorist operation held by local law enforcement agencies.

Local media reports, citing police, that the suspects blew themselves up at the begining of a major gunfight when security personnel, including the military, attempted to raid a location believed to have been used for the manufacture of suicide vests. Security personnel seized clothing and flags linked to Daesh* terror group, 150 gelignite sticks, 100,000 iron balls, drones and at least one suicide vest during a raid in the same locality.
