Coordinated Bombs Hit 11 Petrol Stations in Thailand's South

A series of bombs exploded at 11 petrol stations in southern Thailand early Sunday, injuring four people. The army reported the coordinated attacks happened within 40 minutes after midnight. The bombings occurred across the southernmost provinces of Narathiwat and Pattani. This region has seen a long-running insurgency, a low-level conflict since 2004. Rebel groups in the Muslim-majority area bordering Malaysia have fought for greater autonomy for decades. The ongoing conflict has resulted in thousands of deaths. No group has yet claimed responsibility for Sunday's bombings. They represent the latest violence in the restive region.
