Three people have been killed and more than 20 others injured in an attack on an anti-government protest camp in the Thai capital, officials say.
Witnesses reported explosions and gunfire early on Thursday at a protest camp at Bangkok's Democracy Monument.
Protesters have been pressing the Senate to replace the cabinet with an appointed administration.
Later on Thursday, they forced a meeting between the government and the Election Commission to be abandoned.
The government is trying to organise a new general election in July, after protesters disrupted the previous election in parts of the country.
A crowd led by Suthep Thaugsuban, head of the anti-government movement, broke into the Air Force base where the meeting between acting Prime Minister Niwatthamrong Boonsongphaisan and the commission was being held.
"The meeting is over, the prime minister is leaving. We cannot continue today," a member of the commission was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying.
The Election Commission on Thursday has called for polls to be postponed due to the political unrest, AFP news agency says, citing officials.
