One killed, 12 injured in Pattani's unrest

Security officers later sealed the Tambon Yaring Municipality and ordered residents and children to stay indoors, as they swept the area for more threats in the morning. There were six explosions at around midnight in the municipality area, of which three were automated bombings that yielded no injury and three were on Na Wang Road resulting in five police officers getting injured and two shops and two cars getting damaged. At 7.05am, a pipe bomb planted in front of a resident’s home next to the Yaring Post Office led to the death of painter Nit Klodphetch, 62, who was opening his gate. A passer-by was also injured. 

At 9.30pm, police was alerted to check on a bomb planted near a cemetery in tambon Bang Pu, and they managed to disarm the bomb safely. While police was checking the nearby area, another bomb went off less than 10 metres away, resulting in six members of the bomb squad getting injured - two of whom are in a critical condition.
