Australia condemns bombing in Bangkok

Australia strongly condemns the bombing of the Erawan Hindu Shrine at Ratchaprasong, Bangkok, said its foreign minister Julie Bishop.

In a statement, she said the thoughts of all Australians are with the injured and the families of those who have lost their lives through this dreadful act. There is no evidence at this stage that Australian nationals are among the deceased or seriously injured.
"Australia will continue to liaise closely with Thai authorities in relation to this attack and will work to strengthen our bilateral and regional counter-terrorism cooperation," she said.
