The PSNI are investigating overnight incidents in north Belfast in which a number of houses were attacked in a nationalist area of the city.

An object, thought to be a petrol bomb, was thrown at an address in Skegoneill Avenue and a car was set alight outside a house in Somerdale Park and paint was thrown at the property.

The attacks, in a nationalist area, are thought to have been sectarian.

Elsewhere, an elderly Protestant couple were left traumatised when their home was paint-bombed. A window in the living room of their home at Hesketh Road was smashed and paint splattered all over the furniture shortly after 8pm yesterday.
