The Thai Cabinet met in Southern Thailand on September 1, 2026, despite arson attacks occurring across the country. Police and soldiers were deployed to secure the area and investigate a backhoe attack in Pitu Mudi Subdistrict, Pattani Province. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul chaired a meeting in Songkhla to discuss development strategies for Pattani, Yala, and Narathiwat provinces, which were identified as potential growth areas once peace was restored.
The security situation was tense, with police and Territorial Defense Volunteers present, and security measures heightened due to Malaysia's National Day on August 31. A vehicle's radiator failure caused a security scare before Anutin's arrival at a university in Songkhla. Mahama, a suspect involved in various violent incidents, was apprehended in Narathiwat Province.
