Although November had the single most lethal attack in years with 15 dead & 3 wounded, the overall trend is clear: violence continues to decline in #Thailand's #DeepSouth. 17 were killed 6 wounded in 9 separate incidents. 4 successful IED attacks, while 3 more IEDs were defused. The IEDs mostly targeted security forces. First IED used on a train track since March 2019.

The 6 small bombings in Bangkok today have no ties to the insurgency in the #DeepSouth, that has its very own bombings. There were 11 incidents of violence in July, leading to 9 dead and 21 wounded. This was a sharp spike from June, which saw only 3 casualties (2 killed & 1 wounded in only 2 incidents of violence, a bombing and a shooting).
