Ten soldiers were patrolling on the pickup when the bomb, hidden beneath the road in a drainage pipe, exploded just before noon in Pattani’s Thung Yang Daeng district, according to a local police officer who did not give his name because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
Six soldiers were killed immediately while the other four were injured.
The area was ordered shut down for a search by ordnance disposal personnel.
