At least seven people have been injured after unknown gunmen opened fire on anti-government demonstrators in the protest-hit Thai capital, Bangkok.
One person is in a critical condition after shots were fired in two overnight attacks on protesters' main rally site.
The violence came a day after a clash between pro- and anti-government groups left six people injured.
The opposition has been campaigning to overthrow Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra since last November.
Protesters want to block next month's snap election and are calling for the prime minister and her caretaker government to step down.
The capital is braced for a total shutdown planned by the anti-government movement for next week, while the army and police say they are concerned there will be further violence.
Army chief Gen Prayuth Chan-Ocha said on Saturday: "I want to urge all sides and everybody, please don't clash and fight. We're all Thais. We can think differently but we cannot kill each other."
Thai police said the first overnight attack occurred at about 02:30 local time (19:30 GMT Friday) wounding two people, including a security guard.
The second took place a few hours later, wounding five individuals.
Ms Yingluck's Pheu Thai party is considered likely to win next month's election.
But the protesters say her populist policies have created a flawed democracy, and want her government replaced with an unelected "People's Council".
Some believe ousted former leader Thaksin Shinawatra - Ms Yingluck's brother - is still controlling events in Thailand through his sister and her government.
