A bomb went off in restive southern province of Yala on Wednesday, no report of death or injuries, Bangkok post online reported.
The 5-kg home-made bomb went off on the Yala-Betong road at Moo 9 in Yala's Bannang Sata district shortly after 8 a.m. local time as soldiers patrolling the road on foot had passed the spot.
Police blamed separatist militants.
Since the resurgence of insurgency in 2004, around 11,000 violent incidents instigated by secessionists in the Muslim- dominant southernmost provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat happened, with almost 5,000 people killed and nearly 8,000 injured. |
