Sudanese State TV on Tue. suddenly ceased live broadcasts, announcing a failed coup in the country.
A group of coup plotters are trying to take control of Sudan; a high-ranking Sudanese military official was quoted as saying.
Eyewitnesses reported that Sudanese army forces have closed a number of major bridges in the capital "Khartoum" following a coup attempt.
Some military sources told that in an attempt to stage a coup, several tanks moved near “Omdurman” Bridge, which was stopped by the armed forces and four army officers were arrested.
In the wake of the failed coup attempt in Sudan, a number of 40 army officers are reported to have been arrested, Anadolu news agency reported.
