A bomb planted inside a car has exploded outside a retail complex in Londonderry, causing substantial damage to nearby shops, police have said.
A warning was received about an hour before the device exploded, and dozens of homes and shops near to the DaVinci centre on Culmore Road were evacuated.
A cordon was put in place around the suspect Vauxhall Corsa. There are no reports of any injuries.
Police are warning of disruption in the area during Tuesday morning.
The device exploded just after midnight outside a bank close to the shopping centre, near the University of Ulster in Londonderry.
Among the properties evacuated was a nursing home, police said.
