Catholic hard-liners attacked British soldiers and police after parades by the Orange Order, Northern Ireland’s major Protestant brotherhood. No serious injuries were reported.

In Ardoyne, Catholic men and teenage boys surrounded several parked army jeeps with soldiers inside, smashed the windows, and tried to tip them over. Riot police used water cannons to drive back the mob.
