A bomb was detonated by Muslim insurgents causing a train to derail, killing two railway guards and injuring 15 others in southern Thailand.
The insurgents exchanged fire with railway guards before fleeing the scene, Police Col. Dulyaman Yaena told AP.
The explosion occurred in Tue So district of Thailand’s Narathiwat province, causing a disruption to train services.
All the injured were hospitalized.
The attack was a second for the weekend. In the first incident one person was killed and 20 were wounded after a motorcycle bomb exploded in southern Yala province.
More than 5,000 people have been killed, since the escalation of Muslim insurgency in 2004 in Muslim-dominated southern provinces.
The conflict has been ongoing for a decade between local Muslim militants, who want a separate state, and the Buddhist-dominated Thai army and paramilitary forces.
