Homes in Stanhope Street have been evacuated, with police cordons in place as Army bomb experts carry out an investigation. Nugent said: “I was just woke up with an explosion at just after three o’clock. [I] jumped up, trying to get the kids out. “There was so much smoke so we couldn’t really see what they were doing.” She said she “definitely, 100%” believed it was a case of mistaken identity. She said she was still in shock and did not want to think about what could have happened. Source link
