Malaysians told to put off travel to 3 Thai provinces after bombings

Malaysians have been advised to delay travel to three southern Thai provinces in the wake of a series of bombings and acts of sabotage that erupted in the late hours of the previous night. Kelantan police chief Yusoff Mamat confirmed that no Malaysian citizens were impacted by the coordinated attacks in Narathiwat, Pattani, and Yala provinces, according to Bernama.

Over 50 incidents, including bombings, burning of local government offices, and burning of tires, were reported across the three provinces. Thai authorities are conducting a thorough assessment of the situation and working diligently to maintain security. Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 (ISOC 4) stated that Thai authorities are accelerating investigations and reinforcing security measures to safeguard the public and restore normalcy as swiftly as possible.

Earlier, Narathiwat province was placed under a curfew from 10.15 PM yesterday until 5 AM today, granting military personnel full authority to implement security measures, such as searches, area control, and enforcement under the 1914 Martial Law Act.
