Disorder continues in Derry’s Waterside area for a second night, with petrol bombs thrown at police lines. The attacks target PSNI officers, prompting advice to road users to avoid local routes including Chapel Road, Strabane Old Road and Irish Street.
Highland Radio reports that shortly after 8pm, a crowd—described as mostly young people—gathers around Strabane Old Road and Irish Street. Some individuals are said to be wearing masks. The report adds that officers come under attack not only with petrol bombs but also with masonry.
While both outlets focus on the same incidents of petrol-bomb attacks on police during the second night of unrest, they differ slightly in detail. Highland Radio provides more information about the crowd’s composition, timing, and additional items reportedly used during the attacks, whereas Irish Mirror emphasizes the immediate impact on police lines and road travel guidance.
