JAKARTA - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that no Indonesian citizens (WNI) were victims of the shooting incident that occurred at the Siam Paragon Mall shopping center, downtown Bangkok, Thailand.

"There is no information on the victims of Indonesian citizens," said the Director of Protection for Indonesian Citizens and Indonesian Legal Entities at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Judha Nugraha, quoted by ANTARA, Tuesday, October 3.

Based on information gathered from various sources, Judha said there were three victims who died and five people were injured as a result of the incident.

A 14-year-old suspect has been arrested by the Thai Police and is being investigated for the mass shooting.

Thailand's Central Investigative Bureau has previously posted on Facebook a blurry image of a man in khaki-colored cargo pants and a baseball cap, which they refer to as the shooter.

A number of videos on social media, which have yet to be confirmed, show people, including children, running out of the mall and security guards guide them.

One of the videos shows people hiding in a dark room in a restaurant.

Live television footage shows a long line of vehicles outside the mall in the pouring rain.
