armed insurrection
Militant revolt attempt
Armed insurrection is an organized, violent uprising against a government or authority, typically involving weapons and military-style action.
The phrase emphasizes the use of force to distinguish from peaceful protest or civil disobedience: The president declared a state of emergency following the armed insurrection.
Insurrection alone often implies armed conflict, making the phrase somewhat redundant but emphatic.
