Tanks and attempts on the seat of power, like Presidential Palaces often mean a real attempt at overtaking a government is going on. I’ve been in countries during two coups, both times APCs and army running around.
Sounds like the government still has the TV and the palace, so maybe not real successful.

From Twitter of course. Who knows, maybe it is successful.
