The nature of the device was unknown late last night but had been detected about 6pm in a black cardboard box placed at the mouth of a small soi between Army headquarters and the Army Survey Department.

It was spotted by passers-by attending the Rajdamnoen Boxing Stadium across the road from the headquarters.

There was no indication from police at press time as to the motive of the explosion.

One bomb-disposal officer lost a thumb and the other received minor injuries.

The site was barricaded and sniffer dogs deployed to check for more explosives. None were found.
