The number of people killed in bombings in churches and hotels in Sri Lanka has risen to 290.

As yet, no group has said it was behind the attacks.

24 people have been arrested by police investigating the bombings.

There's a heavy security presence in the country as the United States warns there could be more terrorist attacks there.

Irish holidaymakers in Sri Lanka are being advised to stay indoors where possible and avoid large gatherings following yesterday's bomb attacks.

Pat Dawson from the Irish Travel Agents Association says people should listen to the advice from the security services.
