Four insurgents on two motorcycles sprayed bullets from war weapons at police officials who were guarding the Joh I Rong train station. No one was injured. Security officials chased them as they rode alongside the train track. Just about 400 metres before the police reached them, the insurgents fired from an M79 but no one was hurt.

At the military ranger base next to the Joh I Rong Hospital, another group of 10 insurgents infiltrated from behind the mountain and fired from an M79, injuring seven soldiers. The injured soldiers – Siriwat Nuanthong, Theerasak Rattana-ubol, Narongchai Sangsing, Wuthikrai Dejbun, Runganothai Petwong, Sathit Chaibunta, Maperu Hayeladeng – were taken to the hospital.

Security officials countered the attack, forcing the insurgents to retreat and hide themselves in the Joh I Rong Hospital. The officials hid behind armoured vehicles while exchanging gunfire with the militants who remained in the hospital for more than an hour. More than 500 cartridge shells were found on the second floor of the hospital.

The third attack took place on a road in Joh I Rong district. An unknown number of insurgents planted a home-made bomb in a 20kg gas cyclinder on a bridge before setting it off.
