The 2016 Isokyrian coup d'état attempt was an attempted overthrow of the Nororist Party carried out by factions of the Isokyrian Army, and later, the Isokyrian Navy, which ultimately failed following a four-day standoff with pro-government forces outside the National Assembly building. 11 people were killed during the crisis, including the coup's leader, Richard Taumgarter. On July 21, the Minister of the Navy announced that he and his forces had joined the coup, but allowed sailors and other members of the branch that did not support the coup to return home safely.
