Men carrying arms spotted near Uran, Indian navy on high alert
Just in: Between four and five men suspected to be terrorists were spotted wearing black clothes carrying arms near the ammunition dump in Uran near Maharashtra, at 6 am today, says state DGP. The men were spotted by children on their way to school who then informed their teacher, who informed the principal. The principal informed the police. A search operation has been initiated in the state with the Indian Navy on high alert. The children also said the men had covered their faces. Details awaited.
The alert comes amid heightened tension between India and Pakistan over the Uri army camp attack last week, in which 18 Indian soldiers were killed by Pakistani terrorists.
High alert tomorrow. Cathedral closed tomorrow. The Navy is on the highest level of alert after two schoolchildren in the coastal town of Uran near Mumbai reported that they had seen masked men with guns.
One of the children claimed to have spotted one man. The other child reported having seen five men dressed in black around 7 am, carrying back-packs and "speaking a different language", near an ammunition storage facility of the naval base in Uran. This child also claimed to have overheard the men saying "ONGC" and "school".
