Five improvised bombs went off at many different locations in Pattani province on Wednesday night but caused no casualties.
The first bomb exploded at about 10 p.m. in a toilet on the second floor of a building behind the Pattani Municipality office, destroying the ventilators and causing damage to the ceiling, walls and toilets. Then, the second went off in a bathroom on the ground floor of the CAT Telecom Plc office on Phiphit road, causing extensive damage.
This prompted a deployment of police and military units to set up check-points at intersections and provide security at important government offices. At about the same time, three other bombs exploded at three post offices in Panare, Yarang, and Yaring districts but inflicted no casualties.
Shortly afterwards, an M79 round landed and exploded in front of the office of Panare district. Nobody was hurt.
