Military flees Bolivia government palace after coup attempt fails
Armoured vehicles rammed into the doors of Bolivia’s government palace in La Paz on Wednesday in an apparent coup attempt, but President Luis Arce vowed to stand firm and named a new army commander who ordered troops to stand down.
The soldiers pulled back along with a line of military vehicles as hundreds of Mr Arce’s supporters rushed to the square outside the palace, waving Bolivian flags and cheering.
