Three police officers were killed Friday by a bomb buried beneath a road in Thailand’s far south, authorities said, as peace talks appear to falter in the insurgency-plagued region.
The area bordering Malaysia, has seen near daily bombings and shootings since the most recent wave of rebellion erupted in 2004.
On Friday three police officers in their late 20s were killed after a bomb struck their car in Yala province.
After detonating the bomb, which was buried underneath the road, the assailants fired on the police from the surrounding jungle, the officer added.
Staff at a provincial hospital confirmed the deaths and said one police officer was also wounded in the blast.
