We have studied charmless hadronic decays of B mesons into two-body final states with kaons and pions and observe three new processes with the following branching fractions: B(B→π+π-)  =  (4.3-1.4+1.6±0.5)×10-6, B(BK0π0)  =  (14.6-5.1-3.3+5.9+2.4)×10-6, and B(BK±π0)  =  (11.6-2.7-1.3+3.0+1.4)×10-6. We also update our previous measurements for the decays BK±π and B±K0π±.
