Clashes broke out today between security forces and putschists at a Turkish air base in the central city of Konya, a Turkish official told AFP.

"We are able to confirm that there are clashes at the air base in Konya between the security forces and putschists resisting arrest," the source said.

The official also confirmed an incident at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen airport, where police fired warning shots at putschists who were resisting arrest. They eventually surrendered.
