Iran Press/Asia: Police reported that the explosion occurred at 8:20 am on Soi TK Park, off Pattani Pirom Road, beside the Muang Pattani police station.
According to the authorities, the bomb was concealed inside a motorcycle that insurgents had parked on the soi. It was reportedly detonated using a timing device.
A bomb disposal team was dispatched to the scene following the explosion. Police cordoned off the area and jammed mobile phone signals, fearing that insurgents might have planted a second bomb to ambush officers.
A security agency source stated that authorities must exercise increased caution when inspecting explosion sites, as insurgents in the deep South have advanced in their methods of making homemade bombs.
Previously, insurgents primarily used walkie-talkie signals, timing devices, or mobile phones to detonate bombs. However, the source noted that modern devices now incorporate all three detonation systems.
