The uprising against the government in southern Albania worsened on Thursday (6/3), with reports that rebels had seized naval torpedo boats and were perhaps preparing an attack.
According to journalists in the region, six cities were in the hands of the rioters, including Vlore - where the insurrection is based and where civilians have gone on a rampage burning buildings, looting and seizing army tanks from deserted army barracks.
