The first explosion occurred at 11.05am, according to sources. The three military officers, from the Yala 16th Special Task Force, went to inspect the attack scene without being aware they were being lured into a trap by terrorists insurgents.

Lt Phongsathorn, the team leader, lost his left leg, while Sgt Maj 1st Class Manit received serious injuries to his eyes. Sgt Sithipol and Mr Anurak suffered shrapnel wounds. They were taken to Yala Hospital.
