A bomb explosion at a hospital in Bangkok has injured 24 people, police in Thailand say.
The blast happened at Phramongkutklao Hospital, which is popular with retired military officers.
Today marks three years since the military took power in a coup – suspending the constitution and seizing control of the government.
Investigators have found traces of batteries and wires at the scene.
According to local reports, the device detonated in the hospital’s pharmacy – sparking panic and sending smoke into the corridors.
Commander Kamthorn Aucharoen said: “It was a bomb. We found the pieces that were used to make the bomb.
“Right now, authorities are checking out closed circuit cameras.”
It is not known who was responsible for the explosion.
Although owned by the military, Phramongkutklao Hospital is open to civilian patients.
