LONDON (AP) — Police in Northern Ireland say they're investigating a bomb attack that injured three children.
Officers said a device exploded Saturday close to a school in Lurgan, Co. Armagh, about 22 miles (35km) west of Belfast.
Police were evacuating homes in the area following reports of a separate device when a bomb exploded without warning in Kilmaine Street. Two 12-year-old children and a two-year old suffered cuts caused by flying debris.
A total of two other suspicious objects in the area are being checked by army specialists, police said.
Dissident Irish Republican groups have carried out a series of recent bomb attacks in Northern Ireland, but have rarely been successful in killing or injuring their targets.
