Train service in three southernmost provinces resumed this afternoon after being temporarily suspended when a bomb blast occurred on the tracks in Narathiwat province in the morning.
Mr Thanonsak Pongprasert, head of the southern centre of the State Railway of Thailand, said that insurgents blew up the rails in Ra-ngae district, site of a spate of recent violence. The blast destroyed two concrete sleepers and injured three border policemen.
The SRT halted all trains on those tracks while a bomb disposal searched the area in case more bombs might be planted
Meanwhile in Bajoh district of Narathiwat, insurgents detonated an explosive device at the foot of a concrete bridge on Ban Tuku-Ban Torn road. The blast caused minor damage to the bridge but there were no casualties.
