Residents on Hyndford Street in East Belfast were evacuated from their homes following a pipe bomb explosion at around 8:20 pm on Tuesday (1 August).
 
“Those behind this attack have shown no regard for human life,” said the Titanic Councillor.
 
“This bomb could have caused serious damage, particularly as it was in a built-up area. It has also caused great disruption to the residents who were evacuated from their homes. Those behind this incident must be wholly condemned.
 
“I urge anyone with any information to please contact the PSNI as soon as possible, so that the perpetrators behind this can be brought to justice."
