Up to a dozen families have been evacuated from their homes because of a security alert in Co Fermanagh.

The PSNI has mounted a major operation following claims that a bomb had been left on the B36 road between Rosslea and Dresternan.

The road has been sealed off to traffic and diversions have been put in place with Monaghan-bound traffic re-routed via Newtownbutler and Clones.
