Southern Thailand Petrol Stations Suffer Multiple Attacks

A coordinated string of bombings and arson struck 11 petrol stations in Thailand’s southern border provinces in the early hours of January 11, with authorities linking the incidents to insurgent activity. Explosions and fires damaged fuel pumps and station buildings, though no casualties have been reported. The attacks happened just ahead of local subdistrict elections, raising alarm among voters and officials. Security forces cordoned off the sites and are collecting evidence while boosting patrols in nearby areas. Investigators are analysing CCTV and witness accounts to identify suspects and possible motives.
