Two
anti-government protesters in Thailand have been injured in an
explosion outside the prime minister’s office in the capital, Bangkok.
According to local media reports, unidentified attackers threw a grenade at anti-government protesters around midnight on Sunday outside the Government House, but it has not been confirmed if a grenade caused the explosion.
“It was an explosion that slightly hurt two protesters but we can’t confirm whether it was a grenade,” a district police officer was cited as saying in media reports.
The incident occurred as the caretaker government loyal to Yingluck Shinawatra, the unseated prime minister, is struggling to hold on to power and hoping to survive until an election set for July to restore authority.
Opponents of the government demand the upper house of parliament, the courts and the Election Commission to appoint a new prime minister.
