The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said none of its officers had been injured in the attack and appealed for calm.

Police face violence and unrest in Northern Ireland ahead of Biden visit.

Masked individuals attacked police with petrol bombs and other objects during a parade opposing the Good Friday peace accord in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. The incident occurred a day before U.S. President Joe Biden's visit to Belfast. No injuries were reported, and police have appealed for calm. The Good Friday Agreement marked its 25th anniversary on Monday, which largely ended three decades of sectarian violence in Northern Ireland.
