On Saturday, a series of 51 coordinated arson attacks occurred in southern Thailand, injuring at least three individuals. The attacks targeted local government office buildings, a 7-Eleven convenience store, and several vehicles, leading to significant damage, as reported by the military's Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) and local media.

No group has claimed responsibility for the incidents, which the military indicated were aimed at creating unrest in the region. The nature and scale of the attacks have raised concerns among local officials about security and stability in the area.

The incidents were reported late on Saturday as part of ongoing unrest in Thailand's southern provinces. Local authorities are investigating the attacks and assessing the damage while implementing measures to enhance security.
