More than 50 coordinated arson attacks hit southern Thailand

More than 50 co-ordinated arson and incendiary attacks "aimed at creating unrest" have been carried out across Thailand's insurgency-hit south, the Thai military has said.

At least two people were injured, with a local government office building, a convenience store and a stolen vehicle among targets set on fire.

The incidents took place across the country's southern border provinces between 20:00 local time (13:00 GMT) and midnight on Saturday, the military's Internal Security Operations Command said in a statement.

No group has claimed responsibility for the arson attacks.

Most were reported in Narathiwat province, with others occurring in neighbouring Yala and Pattani.

Two women were injured when a bomb exploded in Muang district in Narathiwat province, according to the Bangkok Post.

Telecommunication towers were set on fire in several locations, with security officials warning residents against touching suspicious objects.

Authorities imposed an overnight curfew in the Narathiwat province that was lifted on Sunday morning. No further attacks were reported on Sunday.
