Pol Colonel Surapong Chatsut, commander of the Rangae Police Station, said the bomb exploded at 8.30am on Thessaban 2 Road in Tambon Tanyongmus.
Police and troops checked the area to ensure that insurgents hadn’t hidden a second bomb to ambush officials when they arrived to inspect the scene.
Surapong said the bomb was a small one without shrapnel hence it was possibly launched by a group of teenagers to create a panic situation.
