BANGKOK, Aug 31 - An explosive device, likely to be an M79 grenade, hit the the National Broadcasting Services of Thailand (NBT) station Tuesday afternoon but no one was wounded in the incident.
It was fired from the Vibhavadi-Rangsit expressway in the capital about 1.30pm.and hit tree branches and fell on the ground in the parking lot near the entrance of state-operated NBT Channel 11 broadcasting station.
No one was injured but three passenger cars and two news vans were damaged.
The incident occurred as a state of emergency is in place in the capital and the nearby provinces of Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani and Samut Prakan, as well as three northeastern provinces of Khon Kaen, Udon Thani and Nakhon Ratchasima.
The incident was the latest attack in less than a week after a security guard on August 26 was seriously wounded by a grenade explosion on Rangnam Road near the King Power duty-free shopping complex in central Bangkok.
That explosion occurred at 11pm last Thursday night, only a few metres from the site of an earlier grenade blast less than a month ago on July 30.
