Prayut orders National Theatre explosion probe sped up
Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha has instructed security agencies to speed up the investigation into the explosion in front of the National Theatre on Monday night, Government Spokesman Lt-General Sansern Kaewkamnerd said on Tuesday.
If the incident were an act of disturbance, Prayut wants agencies concerned to bring the culprits to justice as soon as possible, Sansern said.
Prayut gave the order via his deputy, General Prawit Wongsuwan, Sansern added.
Police said the explosion was caused by gas pressure building up inside the PVC pipe of an advertising sign.
Two women were slightly injured.
