Both of the main bridges in the Turkish city of Istanbul have been closed by security forces, reports say.

Traffic has been stopped from crossing both the Bosphorus and Fatih Sultan Mehmet bridges, but no reasons have been given.

There are also reports of military aircraft flying over the capital Ankara, with gunshots heard.

It is unclear if the events are related and there has been no official information so far on the deployments.

Gunfire has been reported in the Turkish capitol Ankara as military jets have been seen flying over Turkish capitol.
Witnesses have also said they have seen helicopters above the city, but it is not clear what the cause is yet.
There are reports of explosions and the internet being cut, with the planes flying low over the city.

At the same time it has been reported that Istanbul's Bosphorus Bridge and Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge have been closed, local television channels reported, without giving a reason.
Could it be military coup ?
