Bangkok, Thailand (CNN) -- The Thai army declared martial law throughout the country Tuesday in a surprise move that an aide to the embattled Prime Minister said the government didn't know about beforehand.

.

"They took this action unilaterally. The government is having a special meeting regarding this. We have to watch and see if the army chief honors his declaration of impartiality," the aide said, describing the situation as "half a coup d'etat."

.

Lt. Gen. Nipat Thonglek told CNN the move was not a coup.

.

"The army aims to maintain peace, order and public safety for all groups and all parties," a ticker running on the army's television channel said.

.

"People are urged not to panic, and can carry on their business as usual."

.

The army says it wants to bring peace to a country riven with division that has spilled into the streets and resulting in deaths, injuries and political instability.

.

Two weeks ago, the country's Constitutional Court removed caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra from government, after protests peaked.

.

The people of Thailand are all too familiar with coup d'etats. There have been at least 18 actual and attempted military takeovers since Thailand became a constitutional monarchy in 1932.
