Severe Flooding in the South

The Emergency Flood Crisis Operations Centre reported 33 deaths from flooding in southern Thailand, but police later said forensic teams found over 100 bodies in Hat Yai, with more than 20 still unidentified. Seven provinces remain affected, although officials expect water levels to ease within five days.
Authorities also debunked rumours of a helicopter crash in Hat Yai, confirming the noise came from a low-flying supply helicopter. The government has activated an emergency centre to coordinate rescues, using drones and helicopters to reach stranded residents. Tensions remain high, with one man firing shots into the air after claiming rescuers were slow to reach him.
