Derry Bomb: Northern Ireland Explosion

City of Culture Explosion in Londonderry

A bomb exploded at the City of Culture offices in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. Shipquay Street is currently closed. Nobody was injured in the blast, which went off at 10pm local time. The extent of the damage is unclear.

This is the second attack on the City of Culture offices; the first was a pipe bomb in January. Derry's City of Culture plans have already faced an uphill battle due to smaller budgets than those given to cities in the past.
