A 66-year-old man has been charged with multiple terrorism offences following a car bombing outside a police station in Dunmurry, Belfast, Northern Ireland, on May 21, 2026. The device detonated near the station in what authorities are treating as a deliberate dissident republican attack. No officers were injured in the blast, which caused structural damage to the station’s front entrance and surrounding vehicles. The suspect was arrested at the scene by Armed Response Unit officers. Prosecutors say the bombing is linked to a broader campaign by Irish dissident groups opposed to the peace process. The PSNI has urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. This is the first car bombing in the Belfast area since 2022.
