According to Reuters, citing an eyewitness, the explosion took place in a van while the Sri Lankan bomb squad were trying to defuse an explosive device found in a suspicious parcel earlier.

The explosion took place near a church in Colombo, Sri Lanka that was targeted by Sunday’s deadly bombings, Reuters reported, citing a witness.
