Loyalists blamed for overnight attacks in Derry

Sinn Féin has blamed loyalist paramilitaries for two overnight attacks in Craigavon, Co Derry, and Maghera, also in Co Derry.

In the first attack, a couple and their child escaped injury when shots were fired through the windows of their home in the Parkmore area of Craigavon.

Sinn Féin said the shooting was the latest in a string of drug-related incidents connected to loyalist paramilitaries.

This morning, a number of vehicles at a car dealership in Maghera were damaged in an arson attack that has also been blamed on loyalist paramilitaries.
