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.
