The Bangkok Post reports:

Seven children and one soldier were wounded when southern insurgents detonated a bomb on a motorcycle on Monday, police said.

The bomb was placed on a motorcycle petrol tank and detonated by remote control. The motorcycle was parked at a house in Bannang Sata district of Yala province.

Insurgents apparently hoped to kill soldiers patrolling the area. All victims were sent to Yala provincial hospital.

In a separate incident, two Muslim men were shot and killed by suspected insurgents in a drive-by killing on the Talohhalor-Raman Road in Raman district, Yala province about 9 a.m. on Monday.

The victims were identified as Aryu Riteemung, 40, chairman of Keh-Ror sub-district local administrative organisation and his close aide, Masukree Dorloh, 28

BP: Another day more violence.
