78 Arson Attacks Hit Southern Thailand; Separatists SuspectedAuthorities reported three injuries, while a railway section was closed after the attacks.
- The 78 arson attacks targeted government buildings, cars, shops and power poles in Narathiwat, Yala, Pattani and Songkhla, injuring three people.
- Authorities suspect separatists were responsible, but no group has claimed the attacks.
- Among the more prominent targets were a 24-hour shop and a railway section that subsequently had to be closed.
- Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul imposed a curfew in Narathiwat as his government sought to revive talks with the BRN that began in 2013 but produced no result.
'open wound in the Thai state'— Matthew Wheeler, analyst at Crisis Group, described the violence in southern Thailand as an open wound in the Thai state in a Bangkok Post opinion piece.
