The death toll from Sunday's multiple terror attacks in Sri Lanka has risen to 310, according to media reports.
Police spokesman Ruwan Gunasekara, according to the Daily Mirror, said around 40 suspects -- all from Sri Lanka -- have also been detained in operation carried out following the attacks.
On Easter Sunday, a total of eight explosions targeted eight different locations in and outside Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka.
