BANGKOK, June 9 (UPI) -- A bomb exploded Tuesday at an oil depot in southern Thailand and rebels used tree trunks to block village roads following a deadly mosque attack.
The violence disrupted life in Yala Province, in the far south, the Bangkok Post reported. The province is one of four in the country that is Muslim-majority.
In at least two cases, objects that were thought to be bombs turned out to be dummies filled with rocks and sand.
Teachers and schools have been targets of recent attacks, the Post said. At least three schools shut down temporarily, and teachers were warned to take precautions when they travel.
The mosque attack Monday night in neighboring Narathiwat Province, which is also Muslim-majority, left 12 people dead and 11 seriously wounded. Gunmen invaded the mosque during evening prayers.
The bomb Tuesday went off at about 8 a.m. at an oil depot in Muang district, injuring two people. The depot was near a Yala Transport Co. bus station.
The Muslim provinces in southern Thailand are under martial law.
