据新加坡《联合早报》网站3月9日报道,泰国南部那拉提瓦府双溪哥乐镇8日夜间发生爆炸与枪击恐怖袭击事件,造成2名志愿警察死亡,12人受伤。
报道转引《曼谷邮报》消息称,一辆载有武装分子的车辆于当地时间8日晚上7时10分停在双溪哥乐镇办事处外。
袭击者下车后,开枪扫射值班的志愿警察,并引爆了藏匿在办事处大院的一辆汽车和一辆摩托车中的炸弹。
A group of more than 10 armed attackers launched an assault outside the district office in Sungai Kolok, a town on the Malaysia-Thailand border, at around 7 pm local time on Sunday. The assailants fired indiscriminately, threw explosives, and detonated bombs in a coordinated attack that killed two defence volunteers and injured 12 others, including four civilians. A security officer said the district office building and the auditorium building nearby were severely damaged by bombs. The resulting fires also damaged several cars and motorcycles parked in the compound, he added.
