The explosion occurred at about 8 pm near a military base in Moo 4 village in Tambon Saba Yoi.
Nearly at the same time, insurgents also opened fire at a unit of troops in Ban Juab village in Tambon Thamung of Thepha district.
Also at 8 pm, two insurgents on a motorcycle hurled a grenade at a police booth in front of Chana police station. The bomb fell beside the booth so the two police officers inside were safe. They later exchanged fire with the two assailants who later fled the scene.
