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.
