Description

Violence intensified on Wednesday afternoon in Belfast, as a bus was set alight and missiles were thrown at police following several consecutive nights of violence across Northern Ireland.

Local reports state over 40 police officers have been injured, and at least 10 arrests have been made in the last few days.

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.
