Updated: Suspect Detained, Train Services Halted After 40 Coordinated Attacks in Narathiwat
PHNOM PENH, August 24, 2026 – A male suspect has been detained following a wave of coordinated attacks at 40 locations across all 13 districts of Narathiwat province on August 22, according to an updated report from Khaosod English.
CCTV footage reportedly showed the suspect climbing an electricity pole and destroying a surveillance camera in Cho Ai Rong district. He has initially denied involvement, authorities said.
Investigators also found three improvised bombs made from 25-kilogram gas cylinders near a railway track between Maruebo and Tanyong Mas stations. One of the devices damaged the track, forcing the State Railway of Thailand to suspend services between Tanyong Mas and Sungai Kolok.
Rail services have been rerouted while crews work to repair the damaged track. Normal operations are expected to resume within one to two days, and passengers have been advised to check schedules before travelling.
