Description

A bus was set alight and projectiles were thrown at police vehicles as violence intensified on Wednesday afternoon in Belfast.

Footage captures the moment a projectile explodes into fiery blaze on a moving bus at Lanark Way and Shankill Road junction in west Belfast.

Protests were sparked after authorities decided not to prosecute the Sinn Fein party for their alleged violations of COVID-measures at republican Bobby Storey's funeral last year.

Brexit polices have also contributed to rising tensions, with the Good Friday Agreement threatened by the strained EU-UK trade deal.
