Sophisticated bomb attack targets border area
As the immanence of Brexit focuses concern on the possibility of a hard border in Ireland the inherent danger has become apparent with a sophisticated attack on the PSNI near Wattlebridge in Fermanagh.
Roads in the area were closed yesterday and RTE reports that as police and security forces were dealing with one device another exploded nearby. Apparently the initial device was a hoax.
Link here to a report by RTE:

The border between the 26 and 6 counties is fragmentary at this point with main roads running in and out of the Southern and Northern jurisdiction. There have been attacks in this area since the Provisional IRA ceasefire most notably in 2008.
