Five soldiers were injured in a roadside bomb attack Saturday in Narathiwat's Reu So district while another roadside bomb in Yala's Yaha district, targeting a bomb squad police car, left four policemen and two civilians wounded.
The bombing in Narathiwat occurred at 11am on Tha Reu-Kota Baru Road in Tambon Batong. Police and bomb squad officials rushed to inspect the scene where they found a 1.5-metre-deep, two-metre-wide crater and debris of the home-made bomb in a 25kg cooking-gas cylinder. Some 40 metres from the crater, they found the wrecked Isuzu pickup truck of the soldiers’ team.
The injured soldiers – Private Sorawit Onjanbok, First Lieutenant Chaiwat Kalong, Sergeant Sunthorn Thaeng-in, Private Wutthichai Theungchumphon and Private Purin Fakthong – were admitted to Reu Soh Hospital.
