Sri Lankan police conducted a controlled explosion of a motorbike they said was suspicious on Wednesday (April 24) following a string of attacks that killed 259 people.
The operation was one of the many underway in the country, on edge following the bombings at churches and hotels across the country on Easter Sunday.
On Thursday (April 25), Sri Lankan security officials ordered a lockdown at the central bank due to a bomb scare, two bank officials told Reuters, as the street outside the bank was blocked to traffic.
Authorities also shut off the entry road to Colombo's main airport after a suspicious vehicle was identified at a nearby car park.
