A second night of unrest occurs in Northern Ireland, with police in Belfast using water cannons against demonstrators. According to reports, protesters light fires and throw projectiles near police in the city, prompting riot police to deploy the water cannon tactic.
The unrest leads to widespread disruption across Belfast. Several businesses and restaurants close in the city center, while schools are shut and public transport services stop, as authorities and residents anticipate a repeat of the violence seen the previous night. Some outlets describe heightened concern that demonstrations will escalate again, contributing to the decision to suspend services.
Both accounts frame the events as part of continuing disturbances in the lead-up to and following the earlier clashes. The reporting focuses on the immediate public-order response by police and the resulting impact on daily life and local services in Belfast.
