Narathiwat - A suspected insurgent was killed in a clash with troops in Narathiwat's Ruesoh district early Sunday.
Acting on tips-off, Narathiwat Taskforce 30 dispatched troops to surround a house in Ban Tanyong village in Tambon Batong at 4:30 am, leading to a shootout with the suspect.
Following the exchange of gunfire, the body of Masukarueno Yakumoh was found inside the toilet room of the house. An 11mm pistol was found near his body.
