| Gun attacks spur increased security in Thai south |
| 2018-06-13 |
| [Bangkok Post] The Thai military is stepping up security measures in the far South following a series of gun attacks on local residents. The move follows a shooting early yesterday morning in Yala's Bannang Sata district in which five men were killed. Last Thursday, four residents of Narathiwat's Sukhirin district were gunned down as they panned for gold at a canal near the Sai Buri River. Gen Wanlop Thitikul, deputy commander of the Fourth Army, said he had ordered all units to intensify security operations during the last ten days of Ramadan. Military spokesman Jatuporn Klamphasut said all security units have been told to coordinate closely with community leaders to provide security for locals. |
