At least 15 people killed in attacks by rebels in Thailand's violence-wracked south
Rescue workers transfer the bodies of dead village defence volunteers, who were killed by suspected separatist insurgents, to stretcher trolleys at a hospital in Yala province, southern Thailand, November 6, 2019.
Late Tuesday, militants struck two checkpoints in Yala province manned by civil defence volunteers, opening fire on them as a group of villagers stopped to talk, southern army spokesman Pramote Prom-in told AFP. Rebels seeking autonomy for the culturally distinct region bordering Malaysia have been fighting the Buddhist-majority Thai state, which colonised the area over a century ago.
The rebels accuse the state of railroading their distinct culture as well as carrying out routine abuses which go unpunished.
