Police stationed at a local school were under gun attack of unknown number of insurgents on Monday afternoon in Thailand's southernmost province of Yala, leaving four policemen injured.
According to the FM 100 Traffic Radio of Thailand, unknown number of insurgents shot at the policemen before the school in Than To district at about 3:15 p.m. local time (0815 GMT). Four policemen were injured and three of them were in critical condition.
All the injured were rushed to a nearby hospital after the insurgents escaped the scene.
The police team's daily duty is providing protection to the teachers of the school because teachers in Thai South were often attacked by insurgents since the insurgency resumed in 2004.
Thailand's three southernmost provinces -- Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani have been troubled with insurgency-related violence. During the past three years, more than 2,800 have been killed and over 10,000 injured.
