| A soldier was killed and another injured when a bomb buried on a rural road in Yala province exploded yesterday morning. Pvt Kriangkrai Promfai and eight other soldiers were patroling on foot on the road to protect teachers when he stepped on a landmine, which was instantly set off. The explosion threw him into the air, and severed his right leg. Pvt Siam sae Lao was wounded slightly in the blast. The two were taken to the hospital where Pvt Kriangkrai was later pronounced dead. Police blamed members of the Runda Kumpulan Kecil (RKK) movement in for the blast. Meanwhile, vendors in Yala say a safety zone in Muang is killing business. The safety zone was introduced after a series of bomb blasts at more than 30 locations in downtown Yala and nearby areas on Oct 25. The explosions killed two and injured many others. |
