Crime Southern Violence Escalates: Police Officer Shot Dead in Yala, Car Torched in Narathiwat
Pictures courtesy of Khaosod. Incidents occurred in deep south on 5 July, with a police officer shot dead in Yala and a suspected car bomb vehicle torched in Narathiwat, amid mounting fears of escalating unrest in the region. At approximately 9:50, Sergeant Thanyathep Sikkhachan, a traffic police officer from Krong Pinang Police Station, was fatally shot outside a convenience store in Moo 7, Krong Pinang subdistrict, Yala province. The assailants, whose number remains unknown, approached the officer and opened fire at close range, striking him in the head. He died at the scene. Sgt. Thanyathep had been on active traffic duty and was not involved in any high-risk operations at the time of the attack. Authorities are investigating the incident and reviewing security footage to identify the attackers. Just over an hour earlier, at around 20:55, a separate incident unfolded in Narathiwat province. Rangers from unit 4608 responded to reports of a burning car near the Balo Bridge in Rue So district. The vehicle, a Nissan Sylphy had been abandoned and set alight approximately 300 metres from the bridge. Initial investigations suggest the incident may have been intended to lure security forces into a trap. Earlier the same day, insurgents detonated an improvised explosive device targeting rangers from unit 4516 in Rangae district, injuring two soldiers. The spate of violence continued in neighbouring Pattani province, where an armed attack earlier that evening left the younger brother of a local paramilitary volunteer (Or Sor) dead while riding a motorcycle home. Security sources believe the burned car may have been linked to a planned car bomb attack. Intelligence received prior to the incident had warned of a potential vehicle being acquired by militants for use in future assaults. Authorities are treating the incidents as part of a coordinated effort to destabilise the southern provinces, which have long struggled with separatist insurgency. Security has since been heightened across Yala, Narathiwat, and Pattani.

Crime Secret Tunnel at Thai-Cambodian Border Exposed in Crackdown on Call Centre Gangs
Picture courtesy of Thaii Rath SA KAEO - In a startling revelation, PEOPLE’s Party leaders discovered a now-blocked tunnel used for illicit crossings into Cambodia. Found at the back of a department store in Sa Kaeo's Aryanyathet district, this notorious hole was a pathway for those seeking illegal work with call centre scammers and gamblers, according to Col. Methee Khamtem of the Burapha Task Force. Despite the closure of this crossing, multiple illegal routes still exist along the Thai-Cambodian border. The military faces challenges patrolling private properties, but efforts have intensified with reduced internet signals on the Thai side and the installation of barbed wire and checkpoints. Round-the-clock CCTV surveillance and joint patrols with Cambodian soldiers add to the crackdown, with villagers actively reporting suspicious activities. Deputy leader Rangsiman Rome, also chairing a national security committee, highlighted ongoing actions against call centre gangs thriving in Cambodia. While some progress has been achieved, the operations across the border remain alarming, with reports of violence complicating efforts. Rome suggested potential international legal avenues to curb these criminal networks and emphasised a comprehensive strategy to dismantle their operations. Meanwhile, the Thai government continues dialogues and cooperation with Cambodian authorities to further mitigate this cross-border crime. These operations have shown mixed results as gangs quickly adapt to authorities’ methods, persisting in their illegal activities. This complex situation underscores the need for ongoing vigilance and collaboration between nations to effectively address and resolve the issue. Despite these challenges, the commitment of local and international authorities reflects a broader attempt to disrupt and dismantle these deeply entrenched criminal activities. The focus remains on securing borders and ensuring the safety of communities affected by these illicit operations. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Newsroom 2025-07-07 -
