Since <g data-gr-id="9">2004</g> more than 6,400 people have been killed, the majority civilians, in the kingdom’s Muslim-majority southern provinces where insurgents are fighting for greater autonomy. The blast on Thursday evening struck near a grocery shop in the Rangae district of southernmost Narathiwat province, which borders Malaysia. An army official and two civilians – a man and a woman –were killed in the attack as a series of other bombs also went off in the area without any casualties, district police commander Phakdi Preechachol said.
