NARATHIWAT - A militant and a soldier were killed Saturday, police said, in two incidents in Thailand's restive south where separatists are waging a six-year insurgency.

They said the militant was killed during a raid by 35 soldiers on a house in troubled Narathiwat province early Saturday morning.

Officials had received a tip-off from villagers and found six militants at the house.

They exchanged fire for 20 minutes before five of the suspects escaped. The sixth man was found shot dead alongside hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

At noon, five suspected militants, dressed in Muslim women's clothing on a pick-up truck, shot at two soldiers guarding a grocery shop, also in Narathiwat. One of the soldiers was killed and the other wounded.
