More than 1,000 anti-government protesters entered and occupied the compound of Thailand’s Foreign Ministry, witnesses from the scene reported. The country’s Finance Ministry building has also been besieged by rioters.

Thailand's Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra has invoked the Internal Security Act, extending it to Samut Prakarn Province, where Bangkok’s main airport is located.

The Internal Security Act gives Thai security forces the power to impose curfews, block roads and stop vehicles, restrict movements of protesters, ban large gatherings and detain people without trial if rallies get out of hand.

Yingluck, however, vowed that she will not use force against the protesters occupying government buildings.
