FIVE SOLDIERS were killed and 10 others injured - four seriously - in a bomb attack yesterday in Pattani's Kapho district, while a police officer was gunned down earlier in Yala's Muang district. Police investigators have put the two attacks down to the ongoing unrest in the region.
Up to 15 soldiers were travelling in a six-wheel truck from their base in Kapho district to take a break at the Army Region 4's Ingkayut Borihan camp in Nong Chik district as part of a five-vehicle convoy. However, when the convoy drove past Ban Makor School in Plong Hoy sub-district at noon, a bomb placed inside a 30-kilogram gas cylinder and buried under the road, exploded sending the six-wheeler crashing into a tree.
The deceased were identified as Phakin Phokinsirakul, Preecha Tohte, Apisak Or-ake, Natthawut Som-wong and Jakkrit Ubonjinda, all 22 years old and all holding the rank of Private. Ten others were injured, and the four seriously wounded were identified as Privates Piya-pong Inthanom, Withawat Rat-tanadilok Na Phuket, Ronnapop Loylong and Sonthaya Onnuan.
An informed source said this spot was risky as insurgents had previously launched similar attacks there
Police investigators suspect insurgency sympathisers had carried out this attack.
Earlier the authorities received a report that an unknown group had brought several home-made bombs into Kapho and Sai Buri districts.
Meanwhile, traffic policeman Pol Sub-Lieutenant Montree Saengmolee was shot dead in Yala's Muang district yesterday morning, police said.
The victim, who had survived an earlier attack, was driving to work at the Krong Penang Police Station via the Malayu Bangkok-Pong Yeurai bypass when two men on a motorbike opened fire at him at 7.54am. Montree died instantly and his attackers fled with his pistol and rifle. Police blamed separatists for this shooting.
At 3.45pm yesterday, an unknown group of armed men opened fire at two men - Jeh-usenf Awae, 25, and Russalan Ma-ae, 20 - while they were watching TV at home in Pattani's Yarang district. Around the same time, villager Lasi Panoh, 35, was shot and injured in Khok Pho district. Police are investigating to see if the shootings are related to insurgency.
