Extremists connected to the Easter suicide bombings at churches and hotels in Sri Lanka killed 15 people after opening fire and detonating explosives Friday night when police raided a home in the eastern part of the country, authorities said.
Six of the dead were children, reported The Associated Press. The additional violence comes after a group of attackers targeted six hotels and churches and killed roughly 250 people, many of whom were Christians celebrating Easter.
Original reports put the death toll over 300 but it has since been revised down, reported BBC.
The Friday night killings came in the wake of a tipoff about a suspected safe house near Sammanthurai, reported the AP.
