A viable mortar-type device has been found by police during a security alert in Northern Ireland.
About 1,000 people had to leave their homes because of the alert and several roads were closed. Only Lawrence Hill remains cordoned off.
The police said the "intent was to kill or injure".
Superintendent Stephen Cargin said: "This is complete disregard for innocent lives by those individuals who left the device.
"Close to 1,000 people had to leave their homes last night because of the misguided actions of the people responsible for this incident.
"It is only by good fortune that we are not talking about loss of life or serious damage to property.
"While the device will be forensically examined in due course it is safe to say that the intent here was to kill or injure and create fear within the community."
At one stage road closures included Strand Road, Queens Quay, Asylum Road and Northland Road, between Clarendon Street and Northland Avenue.
Most people have now been able to return to their homes.
