Burkina Faso state TV is currently off-air amid heavy gunfire in the capital Ouagadougou.
There are soldiers along the main avenue leading to the presidency, and some areas near buildings around the national radio have been restricted.
On Thursday, hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets in the western Burkina Faso city of Bobo Dioulasso to demand his resignation.
The protesters reportedly blamed Damiba for the chaotic management of the security situation.
A local outlet reports that gunfire was heard at other military barracks located in towns across Burkina Faso.
The news site, Actualite Burkina Faso, has not named the towns.
Initial reports had only indicated heavy gunfire from the main military barracks in the capital, Ouagadougou.
The situation in Burkina Faso is confusing and it’s unclear who is behind the deployment of soldiers in the capital, Ouagadougou, and around the presidential palace.
It is however notable that bodies of 11 soldiers and 50 civilians were discovered on Monday in the northern town of Djibo after an ambush on Monday.
Burkina Faso saw a military coup in January this year, with Colonel Paul-Henri Sandaogo Damiba seizing power.
The military took power promising an end to the Islamist insurgency that started in 2015, but violence still rages.
