A major security alert was triggered in Antrim after an unstable explosive substance was discovered in a school classroom.
Following the alert, a small, planned controlled explosion was carried out by police to safely dispose of the material.
The incident required an immediate response from experts to manage the delicate and potentially dangerous situation.
This localised incident comes as a significant legal development was announced in Northern Ireland concerning the Bloody Sunday trial.
A trial judge has ruled to allow ‘decisive evidence’ against a former paratrooper.
The ex-soldier is accused of murdering two men and attempting to kill five others during the tragic events in Northern Ireland.
The judge's ruling means that the prosecution of the former paratrooper can now continue, marking a critical moment in one of the region’s most scrutinised legal cases.
Meanwhile, the complex political backdrop of Northern Ireland and the wider UK remains in focus.
As Westminster’s party conference season continues, the DUP's recent effort was dismissively labelled a 'nothingburger' compared to the high-profile antics of Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey.
The juxtaposition of the two Northern Ireland stories—a modern-day security scare and a critical legal step in a decades-old, politically charged case—highlights the continuing challenges in the region.
