Three people were killed, including a six-year-old girl and her four-year-old brother, after an explosion ripped through an anti-government protest site in Bangkok’s main shopping district yesterday.
At least 21 people were injured in the blast near the CentralWorld shopping mall in Rajdamri Road about 5 p.m. local time, the Bangkok Emergency Medical Service said on its website. The death toll from four months of political unrest rose to 21 today, after a policeman who was shot in the head during a clash with protesters on Feb. 18 died in the hospital.
