Police have come under attack in Derry for the second night in a row while conducting a search operation in the city.

Masonry was thrown at vehicles in the vicinity of Magowan Park on Monday evening.

Minor damage was caused to some of the vehicles, police said.

Derry City & Strabane Superintendent Willy Calderwood said: "Our crews were attacked in Creggan earlier this evening with masonry thrown at their vehicles when they were in the vicinity of our policing operation in the Magowan Park area.

"We know the community does not want a repeat of the scenes witnessed in the area last night, and we would encourage all those with influence to ensure that does not happen."
