Shots rang in Burundi, Africa, near the state-owned radio and TV station, according to Reuters.

The station’s building has been surrounded by soldiers, while some attempted to enter.

Heavy fighting between rival Burundian troops erupted in the capital on May 14, the day after a top general launched a coup to oust the central African nation's President Pierre Nkurunziza.

Over 50,000 Burundians have fled their country since the start of political violence in April, the UN refugee agency said on May 8, adding that many more were trying to leave but faced hurdles.
