The 2024 Ulu Tiram police station attack was an attack that occurred on 17 May 2024 on the Malaysian police station in Ulu Tiram, Johor, Malaysia.[2] Two police officers were killed while one was left injured. The sole attacker identified as Radin Luqman Radin Imran was fatally shot thereafter.[1] Malaysian authorities initially identified the deceased suspect as a member of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) due to his father's connection with the terrorist group, although it was later reported that he had no involvement with JI and had acted alone.[3][4][5]
