The Zimbabwean military has taken over the country's capital, Harare, and no less than three explosions were reported in the city by morning of Wednesday, November 15.
Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe and his wife have reportedly been detained by the military in a 'bloodless transition' of power - and the country's deposed vice-president has returned from exile.
Army boss, Major Gen SB Moyo, President Mugabe and family are safe but army is ‘targeting criminals around him'.
The army commander claimed to have stepped in to calm political tensions over 93-year-old President Mugabe’s possible successor.
The ruling party has however accused the commander of “treasonable conduct", according to a report by New York Post.
The U.S. Embassy has since issued a warning encouraging citizens to seek shelter indoors ad avoid the political unrest on the street.
