World : Series Of Attacks, Bomb Blast In Pattani, No Casualties Reported

A series of coordinated attacks, including a bomb blast, arson, and acts of sabotage, occurred in Pattani, Thailand, early on September 30, 2023. The incident took place at the Sri Samai Super Store in Nong Chik district, where a homemade bomb weighing around 10 kilogrammes was placed at the entrance and detonated. Six to seven masked and armed suspects, traveling on four motorcycles, were involved in the attack.

They subsequently set a truck on fire, damaged CCTV cameras, burned tires, and scattered nails on the Pattani-Hat Yai road, likely to hinder police tracking efforts. No casualties were reported. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) team is investigating the scene for evidence, while police continue efforts to locate the suspects.

The attack follows a series of arson attacks in Narathiwat, Pattani, and Yala provinces on August 22, resulting in at least three injuries and over 50 incidents reported across the three provinces. Authorities have imposed curfews in Narathiwat since the attacks.
