Flooding in Sri Lanka kills 12 as storm moves toward India

Flooding in Sri Lanka has killed at least 12 people, including six children, due to heavy rain from a slow-moving storm. Over 335,000 people have been displaced as homes were inundated. Search efforts are ongoing for two men whose tractor was swept away with six children in the eastern Amara district. Nearly 100 homes were destroyed, and 1,700 were damaged. The storm is now moving toward India, where officials warn it could develop into a cyclone. It is expected to reach Tamil Nadu and Puducherry on Saturday with winds up to 70 kph.
