A hidden bomb killed a female villager who detonated it when she stepped on a trip wire as she was heading to a plantation to tap her rubber and two ordinance offiers distached to the scene nearly met the same fate when they arrived at the scene, a local official said.

The size of the two bombs were not clear but the two officers could lose their legs from the attack believed to have been carried out by a local separatist cell, the officer said.

The incident took place Friday morning in the village of Kirikate village in Yala’s Than To district.
