The explosion occurred on 6.4.2014 in Yala, Thailand. The incident was initially thought to have been caused by an unstable gas canister stored in a car, however other explosions in the area quickly dismissed that theory.
Yala Governor Dejrat Simsiri said a series of blasts occurred over 10 minutes at around midday in the commercial district of Yala city. Two of the bombs were hidden in motorcycles and the third in a car, with police confirming their detonation via mobile/cell phone.
Thailand's three southernmost provinces have been plagued by bomb attacks and shootings since 2004.
