Fresh attack in Thai South injures soldier after cease-fire claimed

By Xinhua,

Bangkok : Insurgents in Thailand’s southernmost province of Yala launched a fresh attack against soldiers on Thursday afternoon, just hours after some so-called insurgency leaders issued a cease-fire announcement through Thai army-controlled TV 5.

One soldier of an army patrol team was severely injured during the gun attack in Yala province, a military source told Xinhua.

The army unit was on patrol duty while the insurgents shot them from a roadside jungle. The attackers escaped from the venue after the attack and the injured soldier was rushed to a nearby hospital.
