Violence erupted on the streets of Belfast on Tuesday night, with cars set alight and riot police deployed following a stabbing that sparked outrage across the UK.⁣
⁣
Footage shows burning vehicles, firefighters responding to blazes and crowds gathered amid heightened tensions. Northern Ireland and Union flags can be seen displayed as unrest spread through parts of the city.⁣
⁣
Tech billionaire Elon Musk reposted many messages denouncing the state of the United Kingdom. After anti-immigrant activist Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, who calls himself Tommy Robinson, called for protests after "yet another invader attack on our people", Musk replied: "Only by protesting REPEATEDLY and LOUDLY will there be any change!!"⁣
⁣
The disorder followed Monday's knife attack, in which a man was seriously injured. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the incident as "sickening."⁣
⁣
Police arrested a 30-year-old Sudanese national and said there is currently no evidence the attack was terrorism-related. Authorities also condemned attacks on properties and businesses linked to minority ethnic communities during the unrest.⁣
