Dozens of arson attacks hit Thailand's deep south, injuring three

Dozens of coordinated arson and incendiary attacks across Thailand’s southern border provinces—primarily Narathiwat, with incidents in Yala and Pattani—left at least three people wounded and damaged government offices, vehicles and infrastructure. A curfew was imposed in Narathiwat and part of a railway route suspended after track damage. No group claimed responsibility. The violence occurs within a long-running insurgency and amidst ongoing security talks with the BRN, with authorities examining the attack sites as they prepare for upcoming government engagements in the region.

Five Thai soldiers die in Narathiwat checkpoint attack amid southern violence

Five Thai paramilitary soldiers were killed and six civilians wounded when about 10 assailants attacked a security checkpoint at Buketa Sami in Narathiwat province, firing guns and pipe bombs and seizing three AK-47s and other gear before fleeing. Authorities found the attackers’ pickup abandoned and burning later. No group claimed responsibility; the government condemned the attack as terrorism, highlighting its threat to national security and the fragile peace process, as violence persists in Thailand’s southern border provinces. A day earlier, a car bombing in Narathiwat wounded an officer.
