Dozens of Arson Attacks Hit Southern Thailand
Many arson attacks happened in southern Thailand. Arson means starting a fire on purpose.
The attacks happened in many places at the same time. This is called a coordinated attack.
The military is the army of the country. The military said the attacks wanted to make trouble.
This trouble is called unrest. Unrest means people feel angry or unsafe.
No group has said 'we did this.' This is called claiming responsibility.
