Petrol bombs have been thrown across a peace line in east Belfast.

It is believed that four devices were hurled in the Bryson Street area at about 10.25pm last night.

No-one was injured and no damage was caused. It comes after almost a week of sectarian tension in the area.

On Sunday night, five petrol bombs were thrown at a house in the nationalist Strand Walk and a four-year-old girl suffered minor burns when a petrol bomb landed close to where she was playing in the street last week.
