Thailand percepat langkah keamanan susulan siri pengeboman serentak 3 wilayah selatan

Tiga southern Thai provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani, and Yala are under heightened security measures following a series of coordinated terror attacks that included bombings, attacks on government offices, and arson, reported to have occurred across the three regions. The 4th Area Security Operations Command (ISOC 4) has stated that Thai authorities will continue to monitor the situation, deploying all units for investigations and security measures to protect civilians and restore calm as soon as possible.

Narathiwat province was previously placed under a curfew from 10:15 PM on August 22 to 5 AM on August 23. Over 50 incidents, including bombings, arson of government offices, and tire burning, were reported in the three provinces. ISOC 4 has urged the public to report any suspicious individuals, objects, or vehicles to local authorities.

Commander Yodawud Phuengphak of Narathiwat police forces said the curfew is to enable authorities to control the situation and ensure public safety. The curfew gave full authority to military personnel to carry out security measures, including searches, zone control, and actions under the Military Ordinance 1914. This step was necessary given the current situation, while civilian authorities were directed to support the military operation to maintain safety and security.

However, if immediate evacuation is required, the truth must first be obtained from military, police, village head, or local government officials.
