24 injured in Bangkok hospital explosion

bangkok — A bomb at a hospital in the Thai capital wounded 24 people on Monday, the third anniversary of a 2014 military coup, the government said, with the army chief blaming groups opposed to the junta.

There was no claim of responsibility for the blast at the Phramongkutklao Hospital, popular with soldiers and their families and retired military officers.

“We found the pieces that were used to make the bomb,” Kamthorn Aucharoen, commander of the police’s explosive ordnance team, told, adding it was not clear who was responsible. “Right now, authorities are checking out closed circuit cameras.” A spokesman said 24 people were wounded. —
