An explosion has gone off at a house in the Sri Lankan capital, Colombo, as police were about to search it.
Police say a suicide bomber came out of the house in the Kotahena district of the city, as they were trying to gain entry, and set off the blast.
At least seven people were taken to hospital, including three police officers, but it is not yet clear whether there were any fatalities.
