Londonderry: Northern Irish police on Sunday criticised "disgusting" rioting by pro-Irish unity youths in Londonderry overnight that injured 10 police, the latest night of disorder to rock the UK region.

The violent scenes in the city, also known as Derry, follow nightly disturbances in Belfast and elsewhere over the last week which initially mirrored unrest in English towns and cities in the wake of the Southport knife attack.

Police have blamed pro-UK loyalist paramilitary groups for helping to fuel the violence in the Northern Irish capital, which has outlasted the riots in England, where recents days and nights have been largely peaceful.

The events there have been blamed on far-right agitators.

In Londonderry, the 10 officers were injured after rioters threw petrol bombs, fireworks and missiles from late Saturday.
