Waeng biomass power plant — armed arson and explosive attack
15–16 August 2025 · Night
Waeng district, Narathiwat Province, Thailand (approximate location)
What happened
About 15 masked, armed assailants entered a biomass power-plant site at Ban Sala Uma in Waeng district, restrained a security guard, set a backhoe, truck and tractor on fire, and planted explosives at three locations. Three explosions were reported. Thai security sources suspected a separatist-linked group, but responsibility was not independently established. The reviewed report did not identify casualties, damage to generating equipment or a loss of electricity supply; the marker is approximate.
When cited sources give different casualty, damage or spill figures for this event, they’re reported side by side above rather than merged into one number. See how confidence levels work.
