A bomb planted near a church in Sri Lanka's capital Colombo went off on Monday during defusal efforts, Reuters reported citing witnesses at the site.

There are no immediate reports of casualties.

Earlier police discovered 87 bomb detonators at the Bastian Mawatha Private bus station in Colombo.

The same church was targeted on Sunday when a string of blasts rocked hotels and churches in the country that killed 290 people and wounded 500 others.
