It was reported that 11 petrol stations in three southern provinces of Thailand, namely Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat, were rocked by simultaneous bomb explosions early this morning.
A source from the Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 (ISOC 4), said the bomb attack that occurred at about 1.04 am involved five PPT petrol stations in Narathiwat, four in Yala and two more petrol stations in Pattani.
Authorities believe that the attacks on all the petrol stations involved more than 50 members of the rebel group who were fully armed.
