Two rubber tappers killed in Yala


Suspected separatists in the south have taken two more innocent lives. In the latest attack, two rubber tappers were shot and killed while on their way to work in Yala's Yaha district.

As the violence continues in the restive region, security has been tightened for Buddhist monks. Locals were also urged to co-operate with authorities in quelling the unrest by reporting any suspicious activities or any strangers trying to blend into the local community to police.

The Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) has warned locals that separatists usually strike in secluded areas. The ISOC branded the attackers of innocent civilians "cowards" for targeting defenseless victims.
