A failed coup attempt took place in Bolivia, led by General Juan Jose Zuniga, who claimed the armed forces aimed to restructure democracy. The incident started when armored vehicles rammed the presidential palace door and troops entered Plaza Murillo, a historic square where the presidency and Congress are situated. However, world leaders condemned the coup attempt, leading to the soldiers' withdrawal. General Zuniga was later arrested while addressing reporters, along with another military leader, Vice Admiral Juan Arnez Salvador. President Luis Arce, from the left-wing Movement for Socialism (MAS) party, hailed the failed coup bid and denounced the move as a coup, calling for international support.
