Thailand's Deep South Plagued by Violence: Narathiwat Assault Raises Concerns. A fresh wave of violence has hit Thailand's southernmost province of Narathiwat, with a recent assault leaving residents on edge. The attack comes on the heels of a car bombing in the same province that left a police officer wounded, sparking fears of a resurgence in militant activity. The region has been plagued by a decades-long insurgency, with separatist groups frequently targeting security forces and civilians alike, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the region's fragile peace efforts.
The assault in Narathiwat comes a day after a car bombing elsewhere in the province wounded a police officer.
