北爱尔兰警方周日在贝尔法斯特郊区邓默里镇发布安全警戒,此前有报道称一处警察局附近发生汽车炸弹爆炸。

北爱尔兰警察局周日表示,附近居民已被疏散,并建议公众避开该区域。

代表贝尔法斯特西南部兰根谷选区的英国议会议员索查·伊斯特伍德表示:“昨晚邓默里警察局外发生汽车炸弹爆炸,得知这一消息时令人痛心又不安。”

“这是一个繁忙区域,汽车炸弹被放置在居民区、小型商铺外,周六晚上还有大量民众外出工作或社交,”她说,“所幸没有人员伤亡,这全靠上帝保佑。”

警方尚未公布此次袭击的动机。

上个月,警方称在卢尔根的另一处警察局遭遇袭击未遂,当时使用了一枚“简陋但可运作”的简易爆炸装置。卢尔根距离邓默里西南约20英里(32公里)。

据当局透露,两名蒙面男子劫持了一名送货司机,将爆炸装置放入其汽车后备箱,并持枪强迫他将装置送往警察局。在约100户家庭被疏散后,警方实施了受控爆破。

警方表示,卢尔根袭击事件很可能是持不同政见的共和主义团体所为,目的是“可悲地刷存在感并引发恐慌”。

1998年《耶稣受难日协议》基本结束了共和主义反英派与支持北爱尔兰继续与英国保持统一派之间长达数十年的暴力冲突。反对和平进程的持不同政见团体仍在发动零星袭击。

Northern Ireland homes evacuated after reports of car bomb explosion

Police in Northern Ireland on Sunday declared a security alert in the town of Dunmurry, on the outskirts of Belfast, after reports that a car bomb exploded near a police station.

Homes in the vicinity have been evacuated and members of the public are advised to avoid the area, the Police Service of Northern Ireland said on Sunday.

“It is distressing and disturbing to wake up to the news that a car bomb exploded outside Dunmurry police station last night,” said Sorcha Eastwood, a member of the U.K. Parliament who represents the Langan Valley, southwest of Belfast.

“A busy area, a car bomb left outside residential housing, small businesses and any number of people out and about on a Saturday night working or socialising,” she said. “It is only through the grace of God that there are no casualties.”

Police have released no information about the motive for the attack.

Last month, police said a “crude but viable” improvised bomb was used in an attempted attack on another PSNI station in Lurgan, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) southwest of Dunmurry.

Two masked men stopped a delivery driver, placed the device in the trunk of his car and forced him at gunpoint to take the device to the police station, according to authorities. Police carried out a controlled explosion after about 100 homes were evacuated.

Police said it was likely that the Lurgan attack was carried out by dissident Republican groups in a “pathetic attempt to remain relevant and provoke fear.”

The 1998 Good Friday Accords largely ended decades of violence between Republican groups opposed to British rule and those who want to maintain the region’s ties to the United Kingdom. Dissident groups that oppose the peace process still carry out sporadic attacks.
