Police in Co Antrim are appealing for information after two pipe bombs exploded in the early hours of this morning.

The bombs were fitted with timers and were left outside of two homes in the Brookfield Gardens area of Ahoghill.

No one was injured in the explosions, but one of the properties was significantly damaged.

The PSNI say they don't believe that the attack was motivated by sectarianism or racism.

Anyone with information or who saw suspicious activity in Ahogill is asked to contact the police.

Hoax causes security alert in Belfast

A security alert underway in East Belfast earlier was the result of a hoax.

A suspicious object was discovered in the Templemore Avenue area and a number of local properties were evacuated as bomb disposal officers examiner the scene.

Roads have reopened and residents have now returned to their homes.
