PATTANI: Bombs exploded at two locations in Khok Pho district of this southern border province in the early hours of Thursday, damaging two high-voltage power poles. No casualties were reported.

An unknown number of assailants planted the bombs at two locations in Khlong Rua village Moo 11, said police who were reported around a quarter to 1am by village chief Ro-arsae Samae.

Nobody was hurt in the explosions, which damaged the two power poles. Explosive ordinance disposal officers were sent to the sites, said police.

The cause of the attack was under investigation, but authorities believed it might be the work of insurgents wanting to create unrest in the area.
