Dozens of co-ordinated arson attacks hit southern Thailand
No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks, which the military said "aimed at creating unrest".
Southern Thailand has been hit by dozens of coordinated arson attacks.
The Thai military reported that over 50 synchronized arson and incendiary attacks, intended to "create unrest," have occurred throughout Thailand's southern region, which is grappling with an insurgency.
Two individuals sustained injuries. Among the targets set ablaze were a local government office building, a convenience store, and a stolen vehicle.
These incidents transpired across the country's southern border provinces between 8:00 PM local time (1:00 PM GMT) and midnight on Saturday, according to a statement from the military's Internal Security Operations Command.
The majority of attacks were reported in Narathiwat province, with additional incidents in the neighboring provinces of Yala and Pattani.
The Bangkok Post stated that two women were injured when a bomb detonated in the Muang district of Narathiwat province.
Telecommunication towers were set on fire in multiple locations, and security officials cautioned residents against touching any suspicious objects.
Authorities implemented an overnight curfew in Narathiwat province, which was lifted on Sunday morning. No further attacks were reported on Sunday.
No group has claimed responsibility for these arson attacks.
Since 2004, a low-intensity conflict has persisted in the southernmost provinces of predominantly Buddhist Thailand, as rebels in the Muslim-majority region strive for greater autonomy. The violence has claimed over 7,000 lives to date.
The insurgency is primarily spearheaded by the Barisan Revolusi Nasional.
Peace talks, facilitated by Malaysia and initiated in 2013, have repeatedly faltered due to shifting governments in Bangkok and internal divisions on both sides.
In July, five soldiers were killed in a gun and bomb attack at a checkpoint in Narathiwat, leading authorities to postpone a planned dialogue process.
Thai media indicate that insurgents frequently target security officials and government buildings, sometimes in anticipation of official visits to the region.
Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and members of his cabinet are slated for a two-day visit next week to Hat Yai, a city in the southern Songkhla province, to discuss investment projects, flood prevention, and security matters.
