The army has admitted that there was a grenade blast at army headquarters last week, but says it was aimed at creating a "situation" rather than trying to hurt anyone.
Army spokesman Sansern Kaewprasert said on Thursday that a grenade was fired from an M79 launcher into the sixth floor of the headquarters building on Jan 14. The explosion damaged a kitchen next to a fitness room.
Nobody was injured.The army's security and ordinance teams inspected the area but found no bomb shrapnel, Col Sansern said."The grenade was likely launched at night because no one heard the sound of the explosion," the spokesman said.
"The blast did not occur near national army chief Anupong Paojinda's office."He said the army believed the perpetrator was seeking media attention and was not trying to harm or kill anyone.
"I talked to Gen Anupong, and he was not worried about the situation or felt humiliated but he insisted that action must be taken under the law," Col Sansern said. The army had not filed a complaint to the police yet, he said.
