A roadside bomb blast has killed at least seven soldiers in southern Thailand, police said.

The blast destroyed the truck carrying the patrolling troops in Yala province, killing them instantly.

Violence in the three southernmost, Muslim-majority provinces has killed more than 2,200 people since 2004.

Muslim insurgents have been increasingly targeting both soldiers and Buddhist civilians with bombings and gun attacks.

Police said the troops were heading to a school in Bannang Sata district to provide security for teachers.

The attack was one of the deadliest this year.

Teachers have become a major target of the bloody conflict as they are seen as a symbol of the state. More than 200 schools have been torched and 77 teachers killed, according to education officials.
