Police under attack during L'Derry security alert
The alert in the Farnham Street area began on Monday morning and had still not ended on Tuesday morning.
Police officers have come under fire while investigating a security alert in Londonderry.
13 homes were evacuated in the Fahan Street area while experts moved in on Monday morning to examine suspicious objects found.
On Tuesday morning, officers still remained at the scene. Evacuated residents have returned home, but diversions remain in place.
Officers at the scene on Fahan Street came under attack on Monday night, and a number of police vehicles were damaged after missiles were thrown at them.
Derry City and Strabane Area Commander, Chief Superintendent Ryan Henderson said: "It is extremely disappointing to have witnessed the scenes of disorder on our streets last night. Our officers have been in the area following the discovery of a number of suspicious items yesterday morning and we have been working to ensure the area is made safe. Scenes like those on our streets last night are senseless.
"Thankfully, we were able to bring the situation under control and restored calm to the area shortly before 11pm.
"I want to thank everyone who has been affected by this incident. I know how disruptive it has been, especially for residents who had to leave their homes.
"Our primary aim throughout the course of this operation is to keep our community safe, and we are working through this situation as quickly as we can. Everyone's safety is our top priority and we will not take any risks with that."
