A car bomb explosion near a school and close to the police station claimed one life and left at least 30 people injured in southern Thailand on Tuesday.

According to reports, the blast occurred opposite Narasikkhalai School, Muang District, Narathiwat Province just before 6 am GMT.

A video shared on social media purportedly showed smoke billowing out of the compound as fire tenders try to douse the flames. WION could not independently verify the authenticity of these clips.

The deceased has been identified as a police officer, while the injured include civilians and police personnel, who are at the hospital getting treatment, Pornprasit Jantra, director of the Narathiwat Rajanagarindra hospital, said, reports Reuters news agency.

Fuel truck blast kills dozens in Syrian town near Turkish border

Afghan security forces searched the American University in Kabul in the early hours of today for suspected gunmen who might be still at large, following an attack on the compound that sent students fleeing in panic. 
 
Militants stormed into the complex at around 6.30 pm local time (1400 GMT) yesterday after a car bomb explosion followed by gunfire. &nbsp;One person, reportedly a guard, was killed and at least 14 students were wounded. It was not clear whether foreigners were among those hurt. 
 
Special forces surrounded the walled compound and made their way inside, according to a senior interior ministry official. The ministry&#39;s spokesman, Sediq Sediqqi, said late yesterday that two gunmen were hiding in the university building. 
 
Early today, Kabul police chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi told the media that the area was quiet and that security forces were looking to flush out any remaining gunmen. 
 
&quot;We are inside buildings and a clearance operation is ongoing. We do not know if any attacker or attackers are still alive.&quot; 
 
He declined to speak further, saying the light from his cell phone could make him a target for any assailants at large. 
 
Desperate escapes 
 
Terrified students recounted barricading themselves in classrooms or jumping from the second floor in order to escape. Most appeared to have got away. 
 
Some even took to social media in a desperate call for help.
