Car bomb blast near police station sparks security alert in Northern Ireland

Evacuations were ordered after the blast near homes

A car bomb exploded near a police station in Dunmurry, Northern Ireland, prompting police to issue a security alert and evacuate nearby homes. Investigators said the incident follows an attempted attack last month, with dissident Republican groups suspected. Although the 1998 Good Friday Accords largely ended decades of violence, sporadic attacks continue to disrupt the region.
