Notable political figures have been arrested by the army.

I suppose the advice has to be avoid going out except for essential trips until the situation is known - Also, avoid any political comment of any sort.
Reports from a variety of other news sites say troops are on the streets, but there are no suggestions of serious violence at the moment.

Stay safe.
