BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai troops gained partial control of a protest camp in central Bangkok on Wednesday, using armored vehicles to break through barricades in an operation that killed at least four people, the Thai News Agency said.
Some anti-government "red shirt" leaders have fled the site protesters have been occupying in central Bangkok after troops began an operation to clear the area early in the morning, the government said.
Government spokesman Panitan Wattanayagorn added that the military had successfully gained control of the Lumpini Park area south of the protest site.
