Fourth Army Commander Visits Victims of Satun Van Bombing
The Fourth Army Commander has visited three students injured in a van bombing in Satun and ordered an urgent investigation to apprehend the perpetrators.
On November 11, 2026, Lieutenant General Chakrit Ucharattan, Commander of the Fourth Army Area, visited three students in Satun province who were injured in a van bombing incident caused by an explosive device planted near an electric pole. During his visit, the Commander offered support to the victims and their families while instructing relevant authorities to expedite the investigation and bring those responsible to justice.
While the identity of the group behind the attack remains unconfirmed, officials suspect the act may have been an attempt to test security operations and undermine public morale. The Commander urged the residents of Satun to remain calm and united, emphasizing that the province is a peaceful community that rejects all forms of violence, particularly acts that endanger children and youth.
For residents and travelers, the situation serves as a reminder to remain vigilant. Authorities have requested that the public report any suspicious individuals or objects immediately to the Internal Security Operations Command (ISOC) Region 4 Forward Command hotline. As the investigation continues, the exact motive and the specific group responsible for the attack have yet to be determined. The military has reiterated its commitment to maintaining peace and ensuring the safety of the local population.
