South Thailand insurgency events[]

On 17 July 2010, separatists shot two grenades at Bukit Railway Station, using an M79 grenade launcher. The shootings occurred at around 22:00, when all train services in the Hat Yai-Sungai Kolok area had been finished. No one was injured from the bombings. The first grenade crater was found about 5 metres to the right of the station building, and was 6 inches wide and 5 inches deep, with M79 shrapnel surrounding the area. The second grenade crater was found in a rambutan plantation next to a military patrol base in front of the station, which was 8 inches wide and 6 inches deep.^[1]
On 28 August 2012, separatists shot Local Train No. 447 Surat Thani-Sungai Kolok between Bukit-Ai Satia, causing 1 fatality and 2 seriously injured. All casualties were military volunteers. The locomotive and all 6 bogies were all found to have bullet holes. The shootings occurred 2 times, the first about 500 metres from Bukit Station and the second at a military railway patrol base.^[2]
