# Clashes in a Sri Lankan jail have killed at least 25 people, including four guards, and wounded more than 100 in the worst prison riot in more than five years. Local police say the wounded were rushed to the Negombo hospital, north of the capital of Colombo, following overnight clashes between inmates from two drug gangs. The prison houses nearly ten-thousand inmates. Police commandos have been called in but were not deployed inside the prison.
