NARATHIWAT: Dozens of coordinated arson and incendiary attacks across Thailand’s insurgency-hit south left at least three people wounded and government property burned, the military said.
Multiple local government offices and several vehicles were damaged or destroyed in the 51 attacks, according to a journalist and the military’s Internal Security Operations Command.
Firefighters worked to extinguish burning tires left in the middle of a road and flames inside a 7-Eleven convenience store. At the same time, police officers stopped motorists for security checks, footage from local broadcaster Thai PBS showed.
“Multiple coordinated incidents aimed at creating unrest occurred in various locations across the southern border provinces,” the security agency said in a statement.
Most were in Narathiwat province, where three civilians were wounded and an overnight curfew was imposed, while other attacks occurred in neighboring Yala and Pattani provinces, authorities said.
