Four paramilitary rangers were slightly injured in a roadside bomb attack on Monday afternoon in the southern border province of Yala, prompting Fourth Army Region commander Lt-General Pornsak Poolsawat to order that those responsible be swiftly found and punished.

Militants are suspected of planting and detonating a roadside bomb with intent to harm a five-member team of patrol rangers in Narathiwat’s Reu Soh district on Thursday morning, but nobody was killed or injured as the explosion was directed toward roadside bushes.
