A SERIES of blasts in a town in Thailand's restive south has killed two people and wounded up to 18, authorities say.
The latest incidents, which began with two fire bombings of shops in Pattani on Saturday night, came just days after a major attack on a Thai military base in the insurgency-plagued region.
In total, three bombs have exploded in the provincial town since late Saturday, while police said four more devices had been defused, in the latest attacks to rock the Thai south, where thousands have died in nine years of deadly unrest.
A blast around noon on Sunday in the centre of Pattani killed a local security volunteer instantly, police said.
Hospital staff said another defence volunteer later died of his wounds, while about 18 people, including civilians, were wounded.
Thailand's southern provinces near the Malaysian border suffer almost daily gun and bomb attacks by shadowy groups fighting for greater autonomy.
More than 5500 people, both Buddhist and Muslim, have been killed in the bloody conflict since early 2004.
On Wednesday, scores of heavily-armed gunmen stormed an army base in the neighbouring province of Narathiwat but the Thai military repelled the assault, killing 16 militants in one of the most deadly incidents of the insurgency.
Members of Thailand's security forces and civilians accused of collaboration with the authorities are frequently targeted with ambushes and roadside bombs.
