Bangkok : A bomb planted under a motorcycle was triggered Tuesday night in Thailand’s southernmost province of Yala, fatally injured a woman and wounded another four, local news network The Nation said on Wednesday.
The explosion occurred at about 9:10 p.m. (1410 GMT) on Tuesday in front of Yala’s Muang Municipality in Muang district.
Police quoted eyewitnesses as saying that they saw two men parking the motorcycle and running away and the explosion occurred less than one minute after that.
Police said five people were injured during the blast and one of them, an official of the municipality, died later at the Yala Hospital.
Thailand’s three southernmost provinces — Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani have been troubled with insurgency-related violence which has claimed more than 3,000 lives since it resumed in early 2004.
