Police fired teargas and rubber bullets as they clashed with anti-government protesters in front of an army unit on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road which houses the residence of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.

 

Journalists at the scene reported that some protesters hurled projectiles as they tried to approach a defence line of anti-riot police in front of the First Infantry Battalion of the First Regiment of the Royal Guards.

 

There were no immediate reports of injuries. At press time, hundreds of protesters ignored orders to disperse and were still rallying in front of the army unit.
