| THAI security forces fired warning shots on Wednesday during a confrontation with anti-government protesters in the north of Bangkok, which is reeling from weeks of sometimes violent unrest.
The standoff, which followed a period of relative calm in the city, came as about 900 soldiers and police officers blocked 'Red Shirt' protesters who had left their fortified rally base in central Bangkok in a large convoy.
'Security force so far fired warning shots,' said police spokesman Major General Prawut Thavornsiri. 'There's a confrontation but no clashes yet.' Thai media reported rubber bullets were fired during the face-off near the Talad Thai market.
About 2,000 protesters in 200 pick-up trucks and on 500 motorbikes had earlier left their sprawling site, which has been bolstered with barricades made from truck tyres and bamboo stakes, to travel to the north of the capital. The government has said it would not tolerate road blocks set up by protesters to prevent more troops heading to Bangkok.
