URAN:  Commandos and policemen are scouring the coastal town of Uran near Mumbai for the second day after school students reported seeing masked men with weapons and backpacks near an ammo storage facility of a navy base. A sketch was released last night based on the account of the teens.

The students' report sent the Navy into the highest level of alert.

One of the students claimed to have seen one man near the naval base and the other, a girl, reported having seen five men dressed in black Pathan suits around 7 am on Thursday, "speaking a different language". She claimed to have overheard the men saying "ONGC" and "school". An officer said the information is "not being treated as a prank" as the students are both teenagers and "old enough".
