SONGKHLA: Two bombs damaged two high-voltage power poles in Khuan Niang district and four more explosives, attached to another four power poles in nearby Bang Klam district, were found on Wednesday night following bomb blasts on Samila beach in Muang district.

In the first spot, the two bombs went off in tambon Bang Riang. Two high-voltage power poles were damaged, said a local official.

In the second spot, the four bombs were found in tambon Tha Chang in nearby Bang Klam district. Bomb disposal officers were called to destroy the explosives.

Songkhla governor Weeranant Pengjan on Thursday led soldiers and officials to inspect the blasts targeting power supply in the two districts.

The blasts occurred at almost the same time two bombs exploded on Samila beach in Muang district of this southern province. No casualties were reported.

The explosions on the beach partially damaged two of the well-known sculptures in the province -- the mermaid, and the cat and mouse -- which are 200m. The mermaid lost her tail.
