A grenade was thrown on Thursday at the home of one of the judges of Thailand’s Constitutional Court that had ousted the country’s caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra for abuse of power.

There were no reports of any injuries.

An M67 hand grenade was hurled into the home of Suphot Kaimuk at around 2 a.m.

The blast caused minor damage to the roof of a carport as well as a vehicle parked inside, reports said.

Mr. Suphot was one of the nine Constitutional Court judges who removed Ms. Yingluck and the nine ministers for abuse of power in the case involving the transfer of then National Security Council chief Thawil Pliensri to an inactive post in 2011.

Mr. Suphot was not at home at the time of the attack.

No arrests have been made so far.

Earlier, two M79 grenades were lobbed at Chulabhorn Hospital in Laksi district and two others at the Siam Commercial Bank head office in Lat Phrao district on Wednesday night.

The attacks caused damage to property.
