Early this morning at close to 2 am, unidentified men on a boat shot at the ASTV Office from the Chaopraya River. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
At 1.50 am, explosions and gunfire were heard at the ASTV office on Phra Arthit Road on the side adjacent to the Chaopraya River.
The incident disrupted a live news broadcast of News1 station with bullets hitting the studio but fortunately the anchor for the news program was able to duck in time and did sustained slight injuries from the glass fragment.
Damages were sustained to the glass on all four floors of the building.
PAD volunteer guards said they saw a boat driving from the Rama VIII Bridge heading for the Pinklao Bridge. When the boat neared the ASTV office, unidentified men shot M-79 grenades at the fourth floor of the building, believed to be targeting the satellite dish on the roof of the building. However, the bombs hit the netting around the office instead and the glass on the fourth floor.
Since the PAD rally happened, the ASTV and Manager offices have been the target of various forms of violence.
