The attack happened at a site where Chinnavornyala Construction Co was working in tambon Khuean Bang Lang at 10.45pm on Wednesday. The damaged vehicles included road rollers and heavy trucks. There were no casualties. The company was reportedly contracted for local road construction projects.
The motive for the incident is still being investigated. It was not known if it was related to the spate of violent attacks in the southernmost provinces over the past two days.
Eight incidents involving improvised explosive devices, arson and damage to state property including local administrative facilities were reported in five districts of Yala β Muang, Bannang Sata, Krong Pinang, Yaha and Kabang.
In Satun, two suspected explosions were heard near the Thung Wa security checkpoint. A van carrying 11 students from Wichian Matu School in Trang was damaged, and three students were injured.
In Songkhla, explosions damaged electricity poles at three locations: on Kanchanawanit Road in Sadao district, near Ban Khlong Kha in Chana district and at the Khong Mi Tai curve near the Na Mom-Chana district boundary.
The southern command of the Internal Security Operations Command condemned the attacks, saying they injured innocent students and damaged public utilities and public services.
