An explosion went off on Monday in a van near a church in Colombo where scores were killed the previous day.
It happened when bomb squad officials were trying to diffuse the explosives left inside the vehicle, which police say was used by the attackers on Sunday.
It was found close to Kochchikade Church where scores of people were killed.
The death toll from bomb blasts that ripped through churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka rose dramatically on Monday to 290 - including dozens of foreigners.
