In the early hours of Sunday, local medical facilities were tending to a total of 111 injured individuals, casualties of an unforeseen incident. Thankfully, by the close of day, all of these patients were successfully discharged from the hospital, having received necessary medical attention. As unfortunate and heartbreaking as it is, among the deceased, seven have been registered by their loved ones, two have been respectfully laid to rest, there are two unknown victims yet to be identified, and the facts regarding the 12th casualty remain undisclosed by the authorities.
The initial probe into the incident showcases fireworks or explosives, illicitly stored, as the possible cause behind the grievous explosion. As investigators continue to chip away at the mystery, the remains of this disastrous incident serve as a grim reminder of brutally fatal consequences of such ill-considered actions.
In response to the tragic occurrence, the governor of Narathiwat, Sanan Phong-aksorn issued a stern warning stating that rigorous legal action will be faced by those found guilty. He expressed a fervent hope that this tragic incident will stand as a strong deterrent to prevent any similar catastrophes in the future.
In the aftermath of this disaster, emergency response teams have been working with unflagging determination and dedication to aid those impacted by the catastrophe. Complementing the efforts of these brave responders, provincial authorities have directed all health facilities to be in a state of preparedness, ready to serve those in need.
Furthermore, a crisis management center has been arranged to ensure a structured and coordinated rescue operation, while promptly delivering relief to the victimized individuals. In a generous display of community support, they are also appealing for donations of sustenance essentials – food and water, for those affected by this crisis.
As a safety measure, the warehouse, ominously looming at the entrance of the bustling Muno village’s main market, has now been cordoned off, standing as a sobering testament to the grievous calamity that struck the otherwise vibrant marketplace.
