According to the report, assailants detonated bombs at nearly a dozen petrol stations in Thailand’s south early Sunday, injuring four people, the army said, the latest attacks in the insurgency–hit region. A low-level conflict since 2004 has killed thousands of people as rebels in the Muslim-majority region bordering Malaysia battle for greater autonomy.
The report stated that several bombs exploded within 40 minutes after midnight on Sunday, igniting 11 petrol stations across Thailand’s southernmost provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani, and Yala. The authorities did not announce any arrests or say who may be behind the attacks. It happened almost at the same time.
The report added that a group of an unknown number of men came and detonated bombs, which damaged fuel pumps, injuring one police, a firefighter, and two petrol station employees.
Additionally, Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul told reporters that security agencies believed the attacks were a signal timed with elections for local administrators taking place on Sunday, and “not aimed at insurgency.
