NARATHIWAT - Tanyong police station in Muang district of Narathiwat was hit by a moving car bomb Tuesday night in an attack authorities said was similar to two prior incidents in the region last year.
The Region 4 forward command of the Internal Security Operations Command (Isoc) said on Wednesday that the latest attack happened at an older building of Tanyong police station in tambon Kaluwo Nuea at 7.20pm on Tuesday.
The impact slightly injured Pol Sgt Maj Apisit Anuchart and caused damage to the station and the personal pickup truck of another policeman.
According to the Isoc forward command, a used Toyota Soluna was employed for the attack.
Driven towards the police station, a driver was seen jumping out of the car near a U-turn before it barrelled towards the building and exploded. The instigator fled the scene with another motorcyclist riding behind the vehicle.
Authorities said the attack resembled to two previous attacks in the far South last year, one that took place in Sungai Kolok district of Narathiwat on March 8, 2025, and the other in Khok Pho district of Pattani on Aug 20, 2025.
“Attackers used vehicles that carried explosives and were driven towards targets. They escaped while the vehicles moved on to reach the targets and exploded, causing damage to state buildings, frightening officials and people and undermining peace restoration,” the forward command said.
