Kyrgyz authorities report foiled coup attempt

TEHRAN, Jul. 05 (MNA) – Kyrgyzstan's State Committee for National Security announced on Friday that it had thwarted a coup attempt by a group aiming to seize power violently and destabilize the socio-political situation through mass riots.

The committee's statement revealed that raids on the suspects' homes and vehicles uncovered components for improvised explosive devices, firearms, ammunition, walkie-talkies, body armor, law enforcement uniforms, drones, and extremist literature, Anadolu Agency reported.

Five suspects have been placed in pre-trial detention, and further investigative and operational measures are ongoing.

Detailed information will be provided later, the committee said.
