Investigation Launched Following Explosion In West Belfast
Police have launched an investigation following reports of a small explosion at a house in west Belfast.
The incident happened in the Creeslough Court area of Lenadoon just after 8pm on Wednesday, 07 February.
No injuries were reported and the investigation is ongoing.
Sinn Fein Councillor Arder Carson condemned the attack.
He said: "This device was thrown in a residential area, populated with young families and elderly residents.
"The PSNI have now mounted an operation in the surrounding area.
"My understanding is that this was a viable bomb and this is an extremely reckless incident which has place the lives of residents at risk.
"Those responsible have no regard at all for local people."
SDLP Councillor Brian Heading said: "It's sickening that twenty years after the Good Friday Agreement, people are still involved in this depraved attacks, threatening families and children.
"Those behind this viable device are reckless criminals who pose a significant threat to this community. They have no support and should receive no shelter here.
"The only way to end these attacks is for local people to come forward to the police with information."
