In the early hours of Friday, alleged rebels allegedly bombed a power grow in Saba Yoi city and established car tires on fire in the nearby Thepha area.

Police said the bombing took place at the Plak Bo town Rungtiva Biomass power plant. Four men officially entered the facility with war-style weapons and wearing dark outfits, and four of them apparently heard three loud bangs.

At 12.26am, two men were captured on surveillance camera carrying a eating piston and two containers of gas and placing them inside the power plant. Thirty minutes later, the weapon went out.

Regulators believed the attacks were intended to stoke unrest in the southern border territory and may have been linked to various tragedies that occurred in the area on Thursday evening.

A carbon power plant in the Mae Lan city of Pattani was set on fire late on Thursday night. No injuries were reported.

Around 11.30 p.m., a group of ten armed men dressed as dark stormed the tambon Ban Rai power plant and instructed seven staff to leave the area right away. A vehicle in the mixture and the power plant were later set on fire by the invaders.

On Friday, the Internal Security Operations Command ( Isoc ) Region 4 assured residents and business owners that the authorities would increase security in the area to protect citizens.
