On November 10, 2026, an explosion occurred in the Khuan Kalong district of Satun province, specifically along the Yontrakarn Kamthorn road near Ban Khai Ruam Mit. The blast caused a street light pole on the road median to collapse and damaged a passing ten-wheel truck, resulting in minor injuries to the driver. Following the incident, authorities discovered irregularities and suspicious materials inside two additional utility poles in the immediate vicinity. In response, the Khuan Kalong police, special operations units, and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams have cordoned off the area to conduct a thorough investigation and secure the site. The provincial governor has ordered a temporary closure of the affected road section to ensure public safety. Residents and travelers in the area are advised to remain vigilant and follow official instructions while the investigation continues. While the situation is currently under control, authorities are still working to confirm the nature of the suspicious objects and the full extent of the damage. Travelers planning to use the route connecting Satun to the Rattaphum district of Songkhla should expect delays and seek alternative paths until the area is declared safe by local officials.
