Assistant Commander Mark Rowley said there would be an increased police presence on the streets of the capital as the terror threat level is raised from "severe" to "critical", meaning an attack is imminent. In a televised statement he said people would see extra police on the streets in the coming days, while members of the military are sent to strategic sites such as nuclear power stations, as Operation Temperer goes into effect. Witnesses reported seing an explosion and a "fireball" on a District Line Tube train near Parsons Green station at 8.20am on Friday.
