| [BenarNews] Explosions from landmines killed a soldier and injured six coppers and four civilians in Thailand’s troubled Deep South on Monday, including a farmer who lost both her legs in the twin attack at a rubber plantation, authorities said. About an hour after the first blast early in the morning in Sungai Padi, a district of Narathiwat province, a second landmine went kaboom!as members of a bomb squad scoured the plantation in response to the earlier explosion. The blast killed a soldier and maimed at least six coppers. The injuries to the police were non-life threatening, officials said. Thai officials and residents also said that rubber farmer Prathum Nakthong, 55, was gravely injured in the first explosion when she stepped on a landmine about 500 meters from her house in Kok Ko, one of the communities in Tambon To Deng, a village cluster in the district. |
