A car explosion has been reported outside a Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) facility in Dunmurry, on the outskirts of Belfast, Northern Ireland. The incident prompted the evacuation of homes in the Kingsway area, and authorities have urged the public to avoid the vicinity due to an ongoing security alert.
Political Reactions
Sinn Fein Assembly member Danny Baker expressed concern over the event, while DUP leader Gavin Robinson described the reports as "deeply concerning" and suggested that dissident republicans might be responsible for the attack. The Police Service of Northern Ireland confirmed they are at the scene of a security alert, with cordons in place and an evacuation operation underway.
Recent Context
This incident follows a previous attempted attack last month involving a "crude but viable" explosive device at Lurgan police station, which was also blamed on dissident republicans. The PSNI continues to investigate the latest explosion and is working to ensure public safety.
Residents in the affected area have been advised to remain indoors and follow instructions from emergency services. The situation remains fluid, and further updates are expected as investigations progress.
