Is possible Sonic booms are being misreported as explosions. Eyewitness claims there's been no bombing in Istanbul.
If Turkish sources are to be believed then its almost at an end with only pockets of soldiers still active. Huge explosion reported at 02:00 but again I'd wait in case its merely a low flying jet.
Parliament building hit by bomb. 12 reported dead.
Erodgan finally appears, Istanbul.

All in all it looks like a failed coup now as pointed out. They failed to take Erodgan before he disgustingly put his own followers in harms way because they also failed to take down online media which allowed Erodgan a platform to stage a counter albeit urging civilians to face armed men.
Best anyone could hope for now is a swift ending as there's only small segments of armed men left according to Turkish media.
