An armored van was attacked this morning on State Road 613, the highway connecting Lecce to Brindisi, near Tuturano. Initial reports suggest there was a firefight with the Carabinieri. No injuries have been reported so far.

The van that was attacked belongs to the BTV company, Battistolli. The attackers allegedly parked a van across the road and set it on fire, forcing the armored vehicle to stop.

Following the attack on the armored vehicle, state road 613 Brindisi-Lecce was closed in both directions, from km 8.300 to km 12.800 in San Pietro Vernotico (Brindisi).
