A series of arson attacks and bombings targeted districts across Thailand's southern border in waves across three areas. Officials on the ground say at least seven people have died and dozens were left wounded after the wave of violence. The Thai prime minister arranged crisis meetings with top military and police leaders to handle the surge in attacks across southern provinces. Attackers have not been caught following the strikes across multiple districts.
These attacks follow widespread reports of dozens of coordinated arson attacks. In an unrelated development, Thailand and Singapore stock exchanges are competing for technology company listings amid rapid growth in artificial intelligence, per Nikkei Asia.
