One dead, 25 injured in Thai market blast

RT Monitoring Desk
BANGKOK: At least one man was killed and 25 others were injured late Monday when a bomb exploded at a night market in Thailand’s restive Muslim-majority south, officials said.
The bomb was hidden in a motorcycle, parked in front of a shop in Pattani, one of three insurgency-torn southern provinces bordering Malaysia, Pattani Governor Thanu Uthairat said.
“The explosion happened around 8:25 pm (1325 GMT) and most of the injured were shoppers,” the governor said. A Pattani hospital official said at least one man was killed and 25 others wounded.
