The two rangers, riding a motorcycle, were heading for Ton Sai Nai market to buy food as four suspected militants, riding on two motorcycles, approached them from behind and opened fire with their pistols.

Somchai Choenchompoo, one of the two rangers, died at the scene while Muhammed Reesawan sustained serious gunshot wound injuries. The four assailants escaped after the shooting.

Security officials said that the militants did not observe the Ramadan fasting month and carried on with their attacks whenever an opportunity presented.

On May 22nd and May 24th, two chairmen of tambon administration organizations (TAO) in Yala and Pattani provinces were separately gunned down by unidentified gunmen.
