      @thwr Just got word from him, he's ok but the situation is very vague. No one knows what is going on. He said something about an incomplete action and no one knows whether they should support it or better take cover...

      Good to know my brother is correct and not just bad at figuring out what's happening, it certainly is too vague right now.

        More people pouring into the street, going up to square about half a km away from his flat.

              TV and Radio back on air but it's under military control and has set a curfew.

                      Loud explosions.

                      Edit: possibly sonic booms.

                          OK the conflicting reports seem to be because the military is re-opening the airports to allow people to leave, and that's being reported as the military "backing down." They haven't backed down from anything else (yet).

                            lol CNN saying that Turkey's been instrumental in the fight against ISIS, yes, if they mean by making it more difficult because they bomb people fighting ISIS.

                                    More gunfire and explosions in Istanbul near the Airport. Same for Ankara. Totally unclear who is firing.

                                      Mosques playing call to prayer, something which is abnormal for this hour, likely to try to get people to come out.

                                        They got some goofy Turkish nationalist on Sky pretending to be neutral.

                                            Doesn't sound like he's very confident.
