At least one person was killed and at least 12 others injured, including foreigners, when two bombs went off at a tourist hotspot in Thailand.
According to the local Bangkok Post, at least teen were killed in the Hua Hin resort. It cites BBC as reporting, “the bombs were hidden in plant pots 50 metres apart and detonated by mobile phones half an hour of each other.” Terrorists often use two bombs in order to lure in first responders, to then kill them using the second bomb.
Matichon reports that 23 have been taken into the hospital with injuries so far.
