Tiada rakyat Malaysia terbabit insiden keganasan 3 wilayah selatan Thailand

Ketua Polis Kelantan Yusoff Mamat meminta orang ramai supaya menangguhkan dulu perjalanan ke Thailand bagi mengelakkan perkara tidak diingini berlaku.

Tiada rakyat Malaysia terbabit insiden keganasan 3 wilayah selatan Thailand

In the southern Thai provinces of Narathiwat, Yala, and Pattani, late-night incidents of violence and terrorism occurred on the night before, according to Chief Superintendent Yusoff Mamat of the Kelantan Police. No Malaysian citizens were directly involved in the series of coordinated incidents involving bombings and malicious acts, he stated.

Consequently, he urged the public, especially those from Kelantan, to postpone their travels to Thailand to avoid any unfortunate incidents. The southern Thai region has been experiencing conflicts recently, but the night's events were particularly severe. The authorities do not wish to alarm the Malaysian public, and there have been no reported casualties from Malaysia at this time.

If possible, he suggested delaying travel to Thailand, though he would not prohibit it, urging caution when entering the region. Earlier reports mentioned that Narathiwat province was placed under a curfew following the incidents. More than fifty incidents, including bombings, arson of government offices, and burning of tires, were reported in Narathiwat, Yala, and Pattani.
