Phuket police chief suspects missing persons are still trapped in the boat after speedboat explosion, fire, and sinking.

Phuket’s provincial police chief said on Monday he believes missing persons remain trapped inside the vessel after a speedboat exploded, caught fire, and sank off the coast of Phuket on April 6. The incident involved a speedboat that was engulfed in flames before sinking, according to official statements.

Police Assessment and Rescue Efforts

The Phuket police chief stated that those unaccounted for are likely still inside the wreckage, which is now submerged. Authorities are coordinating recovery operations to access the sunken boat and locate the missing individuals.

The explosion led to a rapid spread of fire, leaving little time for escape, officials said. Emergency teams responded to the scene, but the vessel had already sunk by the time they arrived.
