On 6 April 2021, Malay Muslim Separatists detonated an IED on a roadside in Khuan Lamae village, Moo 3, tambon Na Ket (Khok Pho district, Pattani), targeting a passing vehicle. After the explosion, the assailants also opened fire and killed the driver, an Islamic teacher and cleric, on the spot. The authorities believed the assailants to have killed the wrong target as a well known defense volunteer who had been attacked several times also drives the same type of vehicle.
