Bomb kills six soldiers in southern Thailand
 [Bangkok Post] A bomb exploded on a road in Pattani province, killing six soldiers and hurting four others, two seriously, shortly before noon on Monday. As a pickup truck carrying ten army soldiers was on a road in Thung Yang Daeng district, an underground bomb went off, completely destroying it. A combined security team checked the scene in the afternoon. They found pieces of the pickup truck within a 50m radius of the blast. The impact created a 1.5m-deep and 2m-wide hole on the laterite road with body parts scattered everywhere. Officials said it was one of the bloodiest incidents in the southern province. The soldiers had been sent to replace another team who had patrolled the woods and hills. The mission was to put pressure on the rebels who might have hidden there. Posted by: ryuge 2017-06-20 |
