Politicians in Ballymena, Co Antrim, were today urged to act to stop almost daily petrol-bomb attacks in the town.
In the latest attack, two adults escaped injury when two petrol bombs were thrown at a house in the Millfield area of the town shortly after 1am.
The devices shattered against the front of the property causing external scorch damage. Two men were seen running from the scene, and police said the motive for the attack may have been sectarian.
Alliance Party local councillor Jayne Dunlop challenged local representatives to say what they planned to do about the ongoing attacks.
She said: "We have already had one sectarian fatality in Ballymena this year, yet it seems we are going to need still more before those elected locally get on and do something about it.
"Potentially deadly attacks are now happening on average once every 24 hours. When are local community leaders going to get a grip on this?"
On Wednesday an attempt was made to petrol bomb a car in the Dunvale area of the town, again in the middle of the night. The device missed the vehicle, struck a wall and burned itself out.
The night before, a family escaped unharmed from a petrol-bomb attack on their home in Dunfane Park in the north of the town. The living room of the property was damaged in the attack, which happened shortly before 1am. Another device struck an exterior wall.
Police said the family were the victims of mistaken identity. Three youths were seen running away.
