Police investigate more security alerts in the North

Police in the North are investigating another series of security alerts this morning.

A hostel and apartments in west Belfast were evacuated shortly after 5am following the discovery of a suspicious object.

Controlled explosions were also carried out on two separate devices in the Moygashel area of Co Tyrone in the early hours of the morning, but both were later declared to be hoaxes.

In Co Fermanagh, meanwhile, the police are investigating a warning that a landmine has been left somewhere in the south of the county.

The incidents are the latest in a string of alerts this week which are being blamed on dissident republicans.
