Three injured in petrol bomb attack on Belfast house

At least three people have been hospitalised following a petrol bomb attack on a house in the Ballymurphy area of Belfast this morning.

The device was thrown at a conservatory to the rear of the property on Dermott Hill Park at around 3.30am.

The conservatory was completely destroyed and the rest of the house suffered significant smoke damage.

The occupants, who include a man, woman and teenage girl, were taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation following the blaze.

The attack is believed to be linked to an ongoing feud between two families in Ballymurphy that has seen several houses targeted in similar petrol bombings over the past eight months or so.
