Bomb hits roadside checkpoint, wounds 6 in South

A defence volunteer wounded in a bomb attack on a roadside bus shelter in Narathiwat has been airlifted to Songkhlanakarin Hospital in Songkhla's Hat Yai district because his condition has worsened.
He was among three soldiers, three defence volunteers and three villagers hit by the bomb on Monday night as a checkpoint was being set up near a three-way junction on the Asian Highway.
Defence volunteer Pairoj Seumae, 33, had his chest and lung punctured by shrapnel. Serious bleeding from the wounds prompted doctors to call for his helicopter evacuation to the hospital in Hat Yai. His condition is said to be still critical. The five other team members are reported stable and recovering at the district hospital, while the three villagers were released to go home.
