BANGKOK (BNO NEWS) -- At least ten people were wounded on Saturday in a bomb explosion in restive southern Thailand, the Bangkok Post reported.

A bomb hidden inside a motorcycle parked at the fresh market in Thepha settlement of the southern province of Songkhla's Thepha district exploded, injuring six paramilitary rangers and four people. Two rangers were in critical condition and admitted to Thepha hospital.

Police blamed separatist militants.

After the bomb attack, all security forces in Songkhla's districts of Jana, Thepha, Nathawee, Sabayoi and Hat Yai were ordered to be on high alert.

Since 2004, around 4,000 people have been killed in Thailand's southern regions of Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat, as local insurgent groups renewed their fighting efforts against the government. More than 7,000 people have been injured in violent incidents launched by separatist militants.
