# Southern Thailand insurgency attacks > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/southern-thailand-insurgency-attacks > Updated: 2026-08-28T05:02:54.000Z. Sources: 46. Developments: 2. A series of coordinated attacks, including bombings and arson, struck provinces in southern Thailand. Initial reports indicated over 50 incidents targeting government buildings, telecommunication towers, power poles, and retail outlets across Narathiwat, Yala, and Pattani. These attacks resulted in at least three civilian injuries and damaged a railway line, causing the suspension of train services. Authorities implemented a nighttime curfew in Narathiwat following the initial wave. While no group has claimed responsibility, officials suspected the involvement of separatist groups such as the Patani Malay National Liberation Front (BRN). The Thai Army attributed the inability to prevent the attacks to a shortage of nighttime security personnel. Subsequent reports indicated the scale of the violence increased, with at least 78 incidents reported across four provinces. The targets included businesses, convenience stores, vehicles, and utility poles. The surge in activity occurred within the context of a long-standing insurgency in predominantly Muslim and ethnic Malay provinces, occurring even as the government attempted to revive peace talks. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-28: Thailand insurgency: Coordinated attacks strike southern provinces A coordinated wave of at least 78 attacks, including arson and bombings, struck four provinces in Thailand’s insurgency-hit deep south, targeting government buildings and infrastructure. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/thailand-insurgency-coordinated-attacks-strike-southern-provinces ### 2026-08-22: Southern Thailand hit by coordinated bombings and arson attacks Coordinated bombings and arson attacks hit southern Thailand's Narathiwat, Yala, and Pattani provinces, injuring at least three people and targeting government and public infrastructure. 45 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/southern-thailand-hit-by-51-coordinated-attacks --- Cite as: Southern Thailand insurgency attacks.
