PSNI officers hurt at Republican bonfire

A number of police officers have been injured after trouble broke out at a Republican bonfire in Belfast.

Several arrests were made during the unrest at the Divis area near the city centre last night.

The bonfire was built to mark the anniversary of the introduction of internment without trial in the North during the Troubles.

Police said further details regarding the incident would be released later.

Republican groups are due to hold an anti-internment parade through Belfast city centre tonight.

A number of loyalists are set to stage protests along the route.
