Bolivia-Soldiers storm presidential palace in apparent coup attempt

Bolivian armed forces took over the central square in La Paz on Wednesday and an armoured vehicle rammed the entrance to the presidential palace as leftist President Luis Arce slammed a “coup” against the government and called for international support, Reuters reported.

Arce denounced the mobilization of some army units in La Paz led by General Juan Jose Zuniga, who was recently stripped of his military command, and demanded the troops demobilize.
