Three soldiers were killed in a clash with insurgents in southern Thailand's province of Yala on Wednesday morning, police said.
Police were quoted by the Thai News Agency as saying that the soldiers were on patrol when they encountered the insurgents on a road in Muang district. They exchanged gunfire for about 20 minutes.
Three severely wounded soldiers were rushed to a nearby hospital while the insurgents fled the scene. The soldiers later died in the hospital.
Thailand's three southernmost provinces -- Narathiwat, Yala and Pattani have been troubled with insurgency-related violence which has claimed more than 2,800 people's lives since 2004.
