An 11-year-old boy in Mukdahan province, northeast Thailand, took his father's pickup truck and drove into a Buddhist monk procession on Thursday, killing at least eight monks and wounding 14 others, four critically. The incident occurred during a religious march, and the child was reportedly taken into custody. As The Zioneer reported on Thursday, initial reports from N12 indicated at least eight fatalities. A later Ynet headline suggested 10 dead, but the detailed N12 reporting remains the most corroborated account.
