=======================

Zimbabwe's military has read out a statement on the country's national broadcaster, ZBC, saying it has taken action to "target criminals".

However, it said this was not "a military takeover of government" and President Robert Mugabe was safe.

Heavy gunfire and artillery were heard in northern suburbs of the capital, Harare, early on Wednesday.

Zimbabwe's envoy to South Africa, Isaac Moyo, earlier dismissed talk of a coup, saying the government was "intact".

The statement read out by the military came hours after soldiers took over the headquarters of ZBC. A man in military fatigues said the army wanted to deal with people who "were committing crimes that are causing social and economic suffering in the country".


"As soon as we have accomplished our mission, we expect that the situation will return to normalcy."

The statement said 93-year-old President Mugabe and his family were safe and their security was guaranteed.

It is not clear who is leading the military action.


Gen Chiwenga said the army was prepared to act to end purges within Mr Mugabe's Zanu-PF party.

Tensions were raised further on Tuesday when armoured vehicles were seen taking up positions on roads outside Harare, although their purpose was unclear.

Some staff at ZBC were manhandled when soldiers took over their offices in Harare late on Tuesday evening, sources told Reuters.

Workers were told that they "should not worry", a source added, and that soldiers were only there to protect the site.

The BBC's Shingai Nyoka, in Harare, said the sounds of heavy gunfire and artillery had been heard in northern suburbs where a number of government officials, including the president, live.

Gunfire was heard near Mr Mugabe's residence in the suburb of Borrowdale early on Wednesday, a witness told AFP news agency.

Mbunge wa upinzani nchini Zimbabwe Eddie Cross ameambia BBC kwamba anaamini mke wa Rais Mugabe, Grace, ametorokea Namibia.
Mwanasiasa huyo wa chama cha Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) amesema anafahamu kwamba Grace aliruhusiwa kuondoka nchini humo usiku wa kuamkia leo na jeshi.
Ameongeza kwamba alikuwa hana kwingi kwa kwenda kutafuta hifadhi baada yake kudaiwa kumdhalilisha mwanamitindo Afrika Kusini jambo lililomaanisha kwamba hawezi kuwa salama huko.

Hata hivyo, taarifa hizi hazijathibitishwa na jeshi.
Kwenye taarifa rasmi kwenye runinga ya taifa awali, Meja Jenerali Sibusiso Moyo alihakikishia taifa hilo kwamba rais na familia yake walikuwa salama na usalama wao ulikuwa umehakikishwa.

Taarifa hiyo ilionekana kuashiria kwamba huenda familia ya rais ilikuwa inazuiliwa kwa pamoja nyumbani kwao Harare.

Nick Mangwana, mwakilishi wa chama tawala cha Zanu-PF nchini Uingereza ameambia BBC kwamba mwenyewe pia amepokea taarifa kwamba Grace hayupo tena nchini Zimbabwe.
Lakini Bw Mangwana amesema katika siasa za Zanu-PF, Bi Mugabe ni mtu wa chini sana na hana usemi wowote.
Amesema ana mamlaka tu kwa sababu ya kuwa ni mke wa Rais Mugabe.

"Alichukua wadhifa wa juu kuliko ule anaostahiki kuwa nao," amesema.
Bi Mugabe amekuwa akitaka kuwa makamu wa rais, na sasa kwa sababu ameongoka, chama hicho kinaweza kufanya mkutano wake mkuu bila kuingiliwa.
Amekiri kwamba si kawaida kwa jeshi kuchukua mamlaka katika nchi inayoongozwa kidemokrasia lakini kwamba hali haijakuwa ya kawaida Zimbabwe.
"Tuna rais wa miaka 93, na hilo si jambo la kawaida, na hatuna sarafu yetu pia," amesema.
Lakini amesema kirasmi Rais Mugabe bado yumo kwenye usukani kwani jeshi halijasitisha utekelezwaji wa katiba na kwamba taifa hilo bado lina serikali ya kiraia.
Amesema rais Mugabe aliongoza mkutano wa baraza la mawaziri jana jioni kama kawaida.
