Thousands of protesters have stormed the residence of Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa in Colombo.
Police fired shots in the air but could not stop crowds from overrunning the residence.
The country's Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesighe has agreed to resign, his office says, to make way for an all-party government.
There have been months of protests over his handling of the worst economic crisis in Sri Lanka’s history.
The country has run out of foreign currency and is struggling to import basics like fuel, food and medicine.
Many have come to blame the Rajapaksa family, who were in power for years, for mismanaging the economy and borrowing heavily from China.
