A suicide bomber was involved in the suspected terror attack at Dusit house along 14 Riverside Drive.

Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet said the first explosion that destroyed vehicles and injured several people at the entrance of the building was by the suicide attacker.

“The attack started at the I&M bank with an explosion targeted at three vehicles in the parking lot. It was followed by a suicide explosion at the front of the Dusit Hotel where a number of guests suffered severe injuries,” the IG told a media briefing last evening.

He added; “But due to the swift response by our officers the situation has been largely contained.”

He said the multi-agency operation is still ongoing to neutralise the attackers still believed to be inside.

“All the six floors have been secured and our teams are moving to secure the remaining building within the premises,” Boinnet added.
