Stray festival rocket hits home in Yasothon village

YASOTHON — 16 April 2026, a homemade rocket fell onto a house in a village in Yasothon province on Wednesday, narrowly avoiding injuries as no one was inside at the time.

The incident occurred at about 14:20 in Ban Tha Kho, Khum Ngoen subdistrict, according to local reports.

The homeowner, Wilaiwan, said she was fortunate that the house was empty when the rocket came down, leaving no casualties. However, the property sustained damage.
