Summary
A fresh Pattani bombing, arson attack and police gunfight have intensified Thailand’s southern security crisis after 78 coordinated incidents. Gunmen cleared a 7-Eleven before destroying it, exchanged fire with police and escaped, although two teenage suspects were later detained. The wider onslaught struck four provinces, injured three civilians, damaged railway tracks and triggered a Narathiwat curfew.
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul convened senior security officials at Government House on Tuesday after another armed attack in Pattani. The August 25 meeting examined the continuing violence across Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat. It also reviewed field operations, investigations and heightened security throughout the southern border provinces.
