A small explosive device has been thrown from a bridge into the Chao Phraya River in central Bangkok, Reuters reports. A police officer at the scene said no injuries have been recorded.

Reports indicate the device was a hand grenade. However, it missed its intended target and fell into the river below, before exploding beneath the surface.

The incident happened beneath the Taksin Bridge, in the center of the city, where a number of ferry companies operate, taking tourists around the city’s waterways.

Police are currently at the scene and have sealed off the area while they look for and collect evidence.

Colonel Natakit Siriwongtawan, deputy police chief of the Klongsan district, said an unidentified man threw the explosive near a busy pier on the city’s Chao Phraya River and that it landed in a canal.

"If it did not fall in the water then it certainly would have caused injuries," he said, as cited by Reuters.

This latest terror attack comes just hours after a bomb exploded near a shrine in the commercial and tourist center of the Thai capital, which killed at least 22 people, of whom at least eight were foreigners. Over 120 were reported to have been injured, according to local media reports following Monday evening’s blast.

It is not known at present if the two blasts are linked.

On his Facebook page Tony Cartalucci has been saying that the BBC has been pointing the finger at Muslim separatists.

Whereas i agree with him in general about the BBC this is not what I heard in the following inerview

BBC correspondent, Jonathon Head said he had not idea who did it and associated internal forces as being on a small scale, and therefore unlikely to have done this.

Listen and make up your own mind

Police in Thailand say at least nineteen people have been killed by a bomb attack on a popular Hindu shrine in the capital Bangkok. More than a hundred and twenty people were wounded. Reports say the device was carried on a motorbike. 
The explosion at a major intersection near the Erawan shrine caused devastation in a major tourist area, with people near the shrine taking the full force. The BBC's correspondent Jonathan Head was at the scene
