Violent Dublin Riots Erupt Following Knife Attack and School Stabbings

Protesters and rioters clashed with police in Dublin, Ireland, following a knife attack that injured five people, including three children. Rioters attacked police officers and set a police vehicle on fire, while also damaging other vehicles and looting stores. Authorities deployed over 400 officers to contain the unrest, which they attributed to a small group of individuals. The knife attack, which occurred earlier in the day, is not being treated as terror-related, and a man in his 50s is considered a person of interest. Irish officials condemned the violence and called for calm in the city.
