THAILAND-UNREST
A Thai bomb squad inspects the site of a deadly bombing from the night before, in the southern province of Pattani on August 24, 2016. A large car bomb blew up outside a hotel in Thailand's insurgency-plagued southern region late, killing one and wounding more than 30 people, some of them critically, police said. Although the area is not popular with tourists, the country has been on edge since a string of small but coordinated explosions earlier this month struck resort towns further north. / AFP / TUWAEDANIYA MERINGING (Photo credit should read TUWAEDANIYA MERINGING/AFP/Getty Images)TUWAEDANIYA MERINGING/AFP/Getty Images

Twin blasts killed one person and injured 30 more near a hotel at a Thai resort town Tuesday, less than two weeks after a similar string of bombings in the country.

The explosions occurred in Pattani, a popular vacation destination in the country’s south. The first blast occurred in the parking lot by the Southern Hotel, Reuters reports. P olice said that the second explosion, in which one Thai person was killed, “came from a truck parked at the hotel entrance, opposite a karaoke bar and a massage parlor.” All of the injured were Thai nationals.

Like the explosions on Aug. 11, which killed four people, no group or individual claimed responsibility for Tuesday’s attack. Both appeared to target tourist locales. Some experts have ventured that the attacks evoke the tactics of the country’s southern separatist insurgency.
