Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has held an urgent meeting with security officials after coordinated violence erupted in three southern provinces. The meeting took place on Sunday before Anutin traveled to inspect flood-hit areas in the north. The violence, which occurred Saturday night, involved small bombs, arson, and property damage. It happened in Narathiwat, Pattani, and Yala, where a Muslim insurgency is active. No group has claimed responsibility, but the Barisan Revolusi Nasional Melayu Patani is suspected. The group seeks self-rule for these provinces. The violence has been ongoing for decades, with thousands killed.
