Armed clashes arose in front of the 2nd Army Command, which had been seized by FETÖ-linked soldiers. Putschist soldiers pulled guns on Malatya Governor Mustafa Toprak and Malatya Police Chief Ömer Urhal at the main entrance when they came to the 2nd Army Command Headquarters.

The subsequent operations lasted for 20 hours and a putschist major from the 2nd Army died and seven others were injured.
