Perlis has increased surveillance along the Malaysia-Thailand border in response to bomb attacks in southern Thailand, including roadside explosions in Satun that injured three schoolchildren. Police Chief Deputy Commissioner Hamzah Hashim ordered district police chiefs and the General Operations Force to enhance security and intelligence-gathering, particularly at the state's main entry points.
He emphasized the importance of cooperation with Thai authorities to detect and address potential threats early. The public was urged to remain vigilant without spreading unfounded speculation. In Satun, three students were injured when two roadside bombs exploded near a power pole, while explosions near utility poles in Songkhla caused no injuries but obstructed traffic.
In Yala, over 20 armed suspects attacked eight locations, including the Yala Municipality Office, causing arson, damage to government vehicles, and targeting telecommunications towers.
