TL;DR Summary

The terrorism threat level in Northern Ireland has been raised from substantial to severe, meaning an attack is highly likely, based on an MI5 intelligence assessment. This follows a rise in dissident republican activity, including a recent gun attack on a top police officer. The New IRA, the biggest and most active group dissident group, admitted the attack. The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any concerns to the Police Service of Northern Ireland. The terrorism threat level remains substantial in the rest of the UK, meaning an attack is a strong possibility.
