Five Security Personnel Killed in Attack in Thailand's South The latest attack in Thailand's deep south, which left five security personnel dead and six civilians injured, is a grim reminder that the country's decades long insurgency shows no signs of abatement.
The violence has claimed over 7,800 lives since 2004, with ethnic, religious, and historical grievances fueling the conflict.
The region's history dates back to the 19th century, when it was part of the independent Malay sultanate of Patani.
