Thai police announced that an 80-kilogramme bomb was found and neutralised in Rueso district of the southern province of Narathiwat on August 21.

He told the police that bombs had been hidden in the district’s Riang commune.
The search team found the 80-kilogramme bomb buried in the ground and destroyed it.
Another man suspected of RKK involvement was arrested for posessing five military-grade guns.
