Bolivia recently thwarted a coup attempt orchestrated by high-ranking military and intelligence officials, with more than a dozen individuals arrested in connection to the failed plot. The coup was allegedly spearheaded by the country's former army chief, Gen. Juan Jose Zúñiga, and former navy commander Gen. Juan Arnez, along with other military personnel.
The plan involved mobilizing armed forces towards the capital's main square and seizing power by force, as detailed in a report provided by the Bolivian government. The coup attempt was met with swift condemnation from both the Bolivian government and international leaders.
