Crime Two Men Arrested After Gun Attack on Tattoo Shop in Yasothon
Picture courtesy of Matichon. Two men have been arrested following a gun attack on a tattoo parlour in central Yasothon, reportedly sparked by a dispute over a woman and a revved engine. Pol. Col. Phumi Thongpho, Chief of the Yasothon Provincial Police Investigation Division, confirmed the arrest of 30-year-old Apisit, known by the alias “Hulob,” under a warrant issued by the Yasothon Provincial Court on 29 April. He faces multiple charges including attempted murder, illegal possession of a firearm, unlawful carrying of a weapon in public, and causing property damage through reckless gunfire. The arrest took place on 29 April at a rented house in Moo 2, Na Wa Subdistrict, Pathum Ratchawongsa District of Amnat Charoen Province, with the cooperation of local police forces. The incident dates back to 28 April at approximately 02:00 when a group of nine men led by Kritsaranai, also known as “Joke,” were leaving a local night club venue in Yasothon city. Around 04:0, while Joke’s group was at a tattoo shop on Ha Thunwa Road, a white Isuzu four-door pickup truck pulled up outside. Moments later, gunfire erupted, with several bullets striking the shop. Fortunately, no injuries or fatalities were reported. Police tracked down Apisit, who was found with a .38 calibre Smith & Wesson revolver, 30 rounds of ammunition, a spent cartridge, the white Isuzu pickup truck believed to have been used in the attack, and clothing worn during the incident. He confessed to driving the vehicle and transporting his associate to carry out the shooting, claiming it was in retaliation for provocative revving of an engine by the tattoo shop group earlier that night, both when leaving the bar and again later at a restaurant. 40-year-old Adirek, also known as “Tong,” was also arrested under a separate warrant. He faces similar charges but has only admitted to storing the firearm used in the shooting. He denies taking part in the actual attack. Pol. Col. Saranpong Jaksukorn, Deputy Chief of Yasothon City Police Station, confirmed that two suspects have been arrested so far, while a third, believed to be the gunman, remains at large. Officers are actively pursuing his whereabouts. Initial investigations suggest two firearms may have been used, as more than ten spent cartridges were recovered from the scene. The motive appears to stem from tensions inside the nightclub, where individuals from the tattoo shop allegedly attempted to flirt with the girlfriend of one of the accused. The situation escalated due to perceived mocking looks and aggressive revving of engines, culminating in the early-morning shooting. Adapted by Asean Now from Matichon 2025-05-10. -

U.S. and Ukraine Sign Strategic Resources Pact and Launch Reconstruction Fund
U.S. and Ukraine Forge Strategic Resources Pact and Launch Reconstruction Fund The United States and Ukraine have signed a new agreement focused on mineral resources and economic recovery, marking a significant step in their evolving strategic partnership. As announced by the U.S. Treasury, the deal includes not only cooperation over Ukraine’s valuable natural resources but also the creation of a joint American-Ukrainian reconstruction investment fund. This initiative aims to help rebuild the war-torn country and support its long-term economic future. For Kyiv, this deal is more than just economic—it’s a lifeline. Ukrainian officials see it as essential to securing ongoing U.S. military assistance in their defense against the Russian invasion, which has devastated large parts of the country and placed immense strain on its economy and infrastructure. The U.S. Treasury emphasized that the agreement stems from Washington’s deep involvement in Ukraine’s defense. "In recognition of the significant financial and material support" the U.S. has provided to the "defence of Ukraine... this economic partnership positions our two countries to work collaboratively and invest together to... accelerate Ukraine's economic recovery," the department said in a statement. The agreement was also framed as a message to Moscow. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made clear that the Trump administration views this deal as part of a broader commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty and prosperity. "This agreement signals clearly to Russia that the Trump administration is committed to a peace process centered on a free, sovereign, and prosperous Ukraine over the long term," Bessent said. His remarks underscored the political and symbolic weight of the agreement, which aims to strengthen Ukraine’s independence while countering Russian aggression. President Donald Trump, who has previously expressed skepticism about continued foreign aid, indicated earlier this year that he wanted the U.S. to benefit more directly from its support to Ukraine. In February, he referred to Ukraine’s rare earth materials as a form of reimbursement for the extensive financial aid the U.S. has delivered. These rare earths are critical for various high-tech industries, including defense and energy, making them strategically important assets. However, negotiations leading up to the deal were far from smooth. Relations between Washington and Kyiv have been tense in recent months, particularly after a reportedly heated Oval Office meeting between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. That meeting led to a stall in talks, with progress on the agreement delayed by political friction and misaligned expectations on both sides. Despite these challenges, the finalization of the mineral resources pact and the establishment of the reconstruction fund signal a renewed commitment to collaboration. It suggests that both governments, despite previous disagreements, recognize the strategic necessity of working together to address Ukraine’s wartime needs and lay the foundation for its post-war recovery.
