Some 30 governors and 7,899 police officers have been dismissed in Turkey after the alleged coup attempt, the country's Interior Ministry said.

At least 50 high-ranking civil officials have been also removed from their posts.

"Thirty Turkish governors and fifty-two civil inspectors removed from post after coup attempt," according to CNN Turk.

Separately, Turkish news outlets said a national court sanctioned the arrest of 41 out of 103 detained generals and admirals suspected of plotting the coup.

The Turkish Interior Ministry has suspended a total of 8,777 officials in the wake of a failed coup in the country, Hurriyet Daily news reported.

Late on Friday, the Turkish authorities said that an attempted coup d'etat took place in the country. The coup was suppressed several hours later.

The coup attempt was suppressed by early Saturday, with Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim stating that all coup supporters were identified and would be apprehended as the country was returning to normal life. Over 208 people have been killed and at least 1,400 injured during the attempted coup, according to the country's foreign ministry.
