Narathiwat, Thailand –
Dozens of coordinated arson and incendiary attacks across Thailand’s insurgency-hit south late Saturday 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 the military’s Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC).
Firefighters worked to extinguish burning tires left in the middle of a road and flames inside a 7-Eleven convenience store Saturday night, while 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” from around 8 p.m. to midnight on Saturday, ISOC said in a statement.
