Three people have been wounded in explosions and gunshots close to a standoff between supporters and opponents of Thailand's government, the Reuters and AFP news agencies have reported.

The attacks on Saturday came a day before Thailand holds a general election, as opponents of the prime minister, Yingluck Shinawatra, vowed to boycott and disrupt.

It was not immediately clear whether the demonstrators or those wounded were the government's supporters or its opponents.
