A bomb exploded on a railway track near Maruebo station in Rangae district on Monday morning, injuring two rangers and disrupting train services. The incident halted two local trains, affecting travel for passengers. The State Railway of Thailand (SRT) reported damage to the track and sleepers at a critical switching point.

The explosion occurred at around 6:30 am. Security forces confirmed the injured rangers were promptly taken to Rangae district hospital for treatment. The train services facing disruptions included Train No.448, which was stopped at Tanyongmat, and Train No.453, which was halted at Reuso, causing significant delays.

This attack was the second on this line in Rangae district within a week, highlighting ongoing security concerns. Last Tuesday, rangers on patrol discovered that bolts and sleepers were removed near another station. The repeated incidents are raising alarms among local authorities and residents about the safety of rail transportation in the area.

In response to the attack, Fourth Army Region commander Lt Gen Norathip Phoynok instructed all army units to remain vigilant against further threats. The SRT is coordinating with security agencies to determine when it can safely resume normal train operations. Meanwhile, repair teams are working on restoring the damaged sections of the track to ensure the safety of future journeys.

Security authorities are on high alert as investigations continue. The discussions between SRT and security personnel aim to prevent future disruptions and enhance safety measures. The community is urged to remain cautious while authorities work to secure the area.
