Thailand's Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul convened a meeting with security officials following a series of coordinated attacks in three southern provinces linked to a Muslim insurgency. The violence, which included bombings and arson, resulted in minor injuries to civilians and disrupted local transport. The Barisan Revolusi Nasional Melayu Patani (BRN) is suspected to be behind the attacks, which are seen as a tactic to gain leverage in ongoing peace negotiations with the Thai government.
