A police officer is dead and 23 others are injured after a car bomb explodes in southern Thailand on Monday. No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
Suspected insurgents detonated a bomb, killing a paramilitary ranger and wounding 23 people in southern Thailand on Monday.
The bomb was hidden in a car parked in the business area of Yala municipality. It exploded about 300 feet away from a busy market, damaging several cars and houses.
Police say the bomb was put inside a Honda Civic sedan parked on a road in Muang district.
The explosion killed one soldier instantly and injured four others along with several civilians, mostly Buddhist Thais.
Yala is one of the three Muslim-dominated provinces bordering Malaysia. Both Muslims and Buddhists have been killed in a low-level insurgency since 2004.
Analysts believe the unrest is a struggle by Malay Muslims who say their identity, language and culture is neither respected nor fully understood by the Thai state.
Despite a massive deployment of 60,000 security personnel in the region, authorities have made little progress in ending the revolt.
