BANGKOK, Dec. 27 (Xinhua) -- Thai police confirmed late Tuesday that there is no explosion in Bangkok as many Thais were shocked by Facebook's alarm.
"We checked and found no explosion in Bangkok as the social media reported, so please don't be afraid and we will inform people immediately if there is any incident," said the city's police commissioner Sanit Mahathavor, Thai media Matichon reported.
Facebook asked people to mark they are safe on its Safety Check after alarming an explosion in Bangkok on Tuesday.
Matichon said that a foreign website mistakenly post a story about the 2015 Bangkok bombing in Erawan Shrine as a piece of news today and thus triggered the popular social media's Safety Check.
