Many violent incidents erupted in the South yesterday, killing a defence volunteer and injuring six soldiers.
An unidentified gunman opened fire at Kasaman Sadeemae, 23yearold village defence volunteer, in front of his home in Yala’s Raman district early yesterday.
Kasaman was about to leave his home when a motorcycle stopped and the passenger opened fire at him. The victim later succumbed to his injuries at a hospital.
Police believed the attack was yet another attempt by insurgents to fan unrest in the deep South.
In Pattani, unknown attackers fired M79 grenades at a military base in Thung Yang Daeng district. Four soldiers there sustained minor injuries and were treated at the Pattani Hospital.
At about 8.10am, a bomb went off on Highway 410 in Yarang district injuring two soldiers.
