Six soldiers and three civilians were injured after insurgents detonated a bomb in Thailand's southern province of Pattani on Monday.
The bomb attack happened in Yarang district shortly after a villager was shot and injured by a pillion rider at 8:30 a.m. (0130 GMT), according to local newspaper The Nation's website.
While the six soldiers from Taskforce 21 were inspecting the shooting scene, the bomb exploded, injuring them and two boys and a woman who were standing nearby.
Police said the bomb was buried in a pile of sand nearby and detonated with a remote control.
Thailand's three southernmost provinces -- Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala have been troubled with insurgency-related violence which has claimed more than 3,000 people's lives since 2004.
