Five soldiers were killed and six civilians, including two young children, were injured during a coordinated armed and bomb attack on a security checkpoint in southern Thailand. Heavily armed attackers targeted the post in Narathiwat province, an assault the regional security command condemned as “brutal and inhumane” for endangering residents. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul ordered an immediate manhunt for the fleeing suspects, denouncing the violence as “a terrorist act aimed at undermining the peace process.” This deadly ambush follows a car bombing in the area just a day prior, highlighting the fragile security situation in a region plagued by separatist conflict since 2004.
