Is the coup failing/succeeding/we dont know?

Hard to know. The first target in any competent coup should be media outlets in order to control the messaging which is why you'll see so many conflicting reports.

I would imagine to do it really effectively, while all your assets are in place ready to deploy, the first target would be the an unsuspecting president.☺ Then secure communications and give the announcement, control airports etc..
