A coup d'etat in Sateroc took place in the early hours of 19 May 2019, when the Saterocian Armed Forces overthrew longtime dictator of the country Georg Puoc following months of popular protests demanding his departure. Led by Air Force commander Paul Charov, the military toppled the Puocist government, seizing the Grand Revolutionary Assembly and arresting Puoc, while also dissolving the constitution and declaring a six-month nationwide state of emergency. In the days following the coup, an agreement was reached between the military and popular civilian leaders in order to form a democratic government, leading to the election of Jonrov Mornes as president in June.
