Insurgents shot dead in far South

Four insurgents and a former separatist insurgent have been killed in three separate incidents in the far South since Monday night.

Three insurgents were killed and three soldiers wounded when paramilitary rangers clashed with a group of militants in Pattani’s Panare district on Tuesday, reports said.

The fight began at about 11am when members of No 44 Paramilitary Ranger Unit were patrolling the Panare-Saiburi road at moo 2 in tambon Thakham, and lasted about 25 minutes.
