A wave of violent unrest has broken out in Belfast following a brutal stabbing incident, with reports of masked groups setting fire to homes and vehicles. The UK government has strongly condemned the violence, calling it “racist thuggery” as tensions rise over anti-immigration sentiments. Authorities are working to restore order while investigations continue into both the initial attack and the subsequent escalation of street violence.
