Unknown perpetrators have carried out bombing attacks on two PTT gas stations in Pattani province—the Yaring and Sai Buri branches—causing severe damage in a coordinated strike on the night of June 28. This marks the fourth incident at the Sai Buri station, where previous attacks had targeted a Krungthai Bank ATM, a truck, and another ATM at an adjacent convenience store without directly damaging the station itself. However, this latest attack has caused extensive structural damage to both fuel and gas dispensers, forcing all approximately 20 staff members out of work. Branch Manager Abdulaziz revealed that damage assessment is ongoing in consultation with contractors, with repairs estimated to take roughly five months before reopening. The company has received some employee support assistance, though additional compensation from the company may be necessary. Preliminary damage is estimated at not less than 10 million baht. When asked if the repeated attacks have discouraged him, the manager acknowledged feeling disheartened but resigned to accepting the situation after multiple incidents.
