Gardaí are appealing for witnesses after an explosive device is discovered at a house in Bandon, County Cork. The device is found at a property on Thursday, prompting an emergency response and the evacuation of nearby homes, according to reports from Irish media outlets. Gardaí have not reported any injuries in connection with the incident.

The discovery leads to local disruption as authorities cordon off the area and carry out the necessary procedures. Gardaí are now asking members of the public who may have information—such as anyone who saw suspicious activity in the area, or who witnessed people or vehicles around the property—to come forward and assist the investigation.

At this stage, the circumstances surrounding how the device was brought to the property and whether it was intended to be used are not detailed in the available reporting. The investigation continues, and Gardaí urge anyone with relevant information to contact them.
