BANGKOK, October 16 (Xinhua) — At least 14 people were injured in a bomb explosion outside a tea shop in Narathiwat Province, southern Thailand, on Thursday morning, local authorities said.
The wounded, including police officers and civilians, were taken to local hospitals for treatment. According to the local public relations agency, 10 of them were discharged with minor injuries, while four more with serious injuries remain in hospitals for further treatment.
Local authorities said a preliminary investigation showed that the bomb explosion occurred while police were on a mission, and the area was cordoned off for further investigation.
According to local media reports, investigators believe the attackers detonated a homemade bomb, targeting police officers.
Narathiwat, Yala, and Pattani are three provinces in southern Thailand that have been plagued by armed attacks and bombings perpetrated by separatists. During a recent inspection, Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul noted that the government will coordinate all security agencies to address security concerns in the border provinces in order to ensure lasting peace and stability in the south of the country.
