A car bomb explosion occurred in Tak Bai district, Narathiwat province at approximately 21:50 on September 29, resulting in injuries to two soldiers and damage to nearby properties.

 

The incident involved a group of 4 to 5 assailants who, disguised as officials, threatened Ms. Mariam Dolae and seized her gray MG5 car (Bangkok license plate). The perpetrators planted an improvised explosive device (IED) inside the vehicle, which was later parked in front of the Tak Bai District Chief's residence in Moo 3, Che He subdistrict.

 

 

The explosion resulted in injuries to two soldiers from the 33rd Marine Task Force:

1. Private Kantayot Binrim, 22, sustained burns and shrapnel injuries to his back.

2. Private Anuwat Hemra, 22, suffered burns, shrapnel injuries to his right arm, and a torn wound on his left leg.

 

The injured soldiers were initially treated at Tak Bai Hospital before being transferred to Narathiwat Ratchanakarin Hospital.

 

Authorities have since secured the area and are investigating the incident. The Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit and forensic teams are currently examining the site to gather evidence and pursue the perpetrators.

 

The Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) Region 4 is requesting public cooperation in reporting any suspicious activities or objects.
