Police in the North are trying to establish a motive for overnight petrol bomb attacks on two homes in south Belfast.

The PSNI said nobody was injured in the attacks and the properties on Breda Road in Newtownbreda only sustained minor scorch damage.

Meanwhile, the police have also urged people in Keady, Co Armagh, not to touch any suspicious objects they may find on the streets.

The warning follows reports that an explosive device was thrown at a police patrol in the Armagh Road area last night, but failed to detonate.
