Police report disorder in Derry in which petrol bombs are thrown at officers. Highland Radio says a masked group of up to 50 people gathers in Derry’s Waterside, with some present described as young and older, and some as having weapons. The group assembles around 7.30pm, and when police arrive many people scatter while some remain and throw petrol bombs.
Belfast Telegraph also describes the incident as involving up to 50 masked people and the throwing of petrol bombs at police during the disorder. While both outlets focus on the scale of the masked group and the use of petrol bombs, they provide limited additional detail in the supplied text about arrests, injuries, or subsequent police actions.
Overall, the accounts agree on the main elements: a gathering of masked people in the Waterside area of Derry, a confrontation with police, and the throwing of petrol bombs during the evening incident.
