BANGKOK: A grenade exploded in a compound for a Thai state-run television channel in Bangkok on Tuesday although no injuries were reported, police said.
A loud explosion was heard from the Viphavadi-Rangsit road, a main highway into the capital close to one of the city's largest military bases, police said, citing witnesses.
It was the latest in a series of mysterious grenade or bomb attacks over the last five weeks in the capital, where a state of emergency remains in place after deadly clashes between troops and anti-government protesters in April and May, in which 91 people were killed and up to 2,000 wounded.
Broadcaster NBT, whose compound was hit by the grenade, has come under criticism from “red shirt” anti-government demonstrators, who accuse the channel of biased reporting and distorting information.
