The ISOC is a government security force that operates in the region. No group claimed immediate responsibility for the attack on Monday, which took place at a morning market. Police said the motorcycle was placed near a stall selling pork. It was not immediately clear whether the bomb was placed at the pork stall in a deliberate attempt to target Thai Buddhists. The stall's female owner and a male customer were among the three people killed, police said.
