An attacker threw firebombs an immigration centre in the English port town of Dover on Sunday before killing himself, officials said. One other person was slightly injured.
The Kent Police force said “two to three incendiary devices” were thrown at the facility where recently arrived migrants are taken, and “one minor injury has been reported”. The Kent Fire and Rescue Service said its crews had put out fires at the site.
A news photographer at the scene said a man drove up and threw three gas bombs at the facility before driving to a nearby gas station and killing himself.
Local MP Natalie Elphicke said the centre had been “firebombed with [a] number of devices” and “the man thought responsible killed himself shortly thereafterwards”.
“I understand that all the people who are at the centre are being looked after and precautions are being made for their safety.”
