BANGKOK, June 21 (Xinhua) -- One soldier and one civilian were hurt in a bomb attack in a southern-border province of Narathiwat on Thursday morning, police said.

Patrol military on motorcycle and pick-up truck were heading from a base in Sukirin district to perform teacher protection duty when the assailants detonated the bomb, head of patrol unit said.

The police said the 20-kg cylinder tank stuffed with explosives was planted under the road and detonated by a wire.

Since the resurgence of the insurgency in 2004 in three Muslim- dominant provinces of Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat which were once part of the Sultanate of Pattani, over 5,200, mostly villagers, have been killed and about 8,000 injured.
