At least three people were killed and dozens more injured after an explosive was thrown into a crowd at a festival in Thailand.
At least 48 people have been wounded, six of whom are critically injured, police said.
The attack took place shortly before midnight local time on Friday at the Red Cross Doi Loyfa fair, held annually in the Umphang district in the northern Tak province, BBC reported.
Two suspects were taken to custody, but no charges have been pressed.
Police were alerted to the incident at 23:30 local time (16:30 GMT) on Friday.
In a statement, the Umphang rescue team said the explosive was thrown and landed at the foot of an outdoor stage where people had been dancing.
Some of the wounded were taken to a nearby hospital, it added.
Several reports suggest the blast was caused by an improvised explosive device (IED).
Footage said to be from the scene, posted on social media, shows scenes of panic as emergency workers and festivalgoers tend to the wounded.
Images taken in the aftermath, shared by the rescue team, show a cordon in place around an area strewn with rubbish and strung with lights.
Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra shared her condolences to the families of those killed and injured in the bombing in a post on X.
