A police officer was killed and a colleague injured in a bomb blast in Thailand Songkhla province Monday.

The bomb went off outside Chana railway station in tambon Ban Na of Chana district about 5.30pm.

The explosion killed Pol Capt Yodchay Boonsong and wounded Pol Sen Sgt Maj Amnart Chalipol, both from Chana police station.

The scene has since been sealed by the police to allow explosive ordinance disposal personnel to examine the scene.

Initial investigations revealed that the bomb was hidden in a motorcyle found in front of the railway station, and was detonated by insurgents targeting both officers as they are on their regular patrol in the station’s car park.

The incident is just days before the highly celebrated Songkran festival, celebrated in several places in the country, including Songkhla.
