Four cops injured in southern Thai insurgent bombing; Filipino communist rebel killed in clash
And more in this latest weekly Southeast Asia armed conflict summary.
Thailand recently faced a surge in violence, with two suspected insurgent bombings reported in the southern region the previous week. These incidents included explosions targeting a police station and a municipal vehicle, resulting in injuries to security personnel and widespread concern among the population. The violence coincided with an increased travel warning issued by Israel for Thailand, citing a "persistence of threat" to Israelis in the tourist haven.
