A number of nearby homes were evacuated for a time while police examined the scene.
The device has been recovered for forensic examination.
The PSNI have said establishing a motive for the attack will be part of the investigation, however, a sectarian hate crime motivation is one line of enquiry.
Detectives at Strand Road CID are appealing for information regarding the incident, and anyone who may have captured any footage in the area on Wednesday evening are urged to contact police quoting reference 2099 18/10/23.
