BANGKOK: Thailand’s Internal Security Operations Command Region 4 said gunmen opened fire on a vehicle linked to Kamonsak Leewamoh, a Prachachat Party MP for Narathiwat, outside his home in Bacho subdistrict, Bacho district, in the early hours of March 20, 2026.
The incident occurred at about 1.00am, when attackers in a white four-door pickup reportedly ambushed a black Toyota Alphard as it returned from duty.
Two people in the vehicle were seriously injured: a 55-year-old driver and a 43-year-old police sergeant major, who was accompanying the group. Officials said Kamonsak was not injured.
Security forces secured the area, provided immediate assistance and rushed the injured to a nearby hospital.
Police and security agencies have cordoned off the scene, collected evidence and launched a manhunt for those responsible, while tightening security measures in the area.
At about 6.00am, the Prachachat Party Facebook page posted a message calling for prayers for Kamonsak and his team’s safety, and condemning the attack as a serious act that undermines public peace. - The Nation/ANN
