RT reports that 1,563 soldiers and officers implicated in the overnight coup attempt have been arrested. Those arrested include 29 colonels and five generals . At least 190 people have been killed and 1,154 injured in military action in Istanbul and Ankara.

Pro-government forces have seized control of the top military HQ building. Government officials accused Fethullah Gulen, an influential cleric in self-imposed exile in the United States, of instigating the plot. Gulen used to be an ally of Erdogan, but turned into his fierce opponent.
