Shots fired at bonfire site
Shots were fired close to a group of people during eleventh night celebrations in east Belfast.
Police said a car drove close to a group of people at Clara Street at about 0020 BST on Monday.
A passenger tried to fire a shot, but the gun jammed. The driver then fired shots into the air before driving away.
In a separate incident in north Belfast, a man was arrested after petrol bombs were thrown at police in the Torrens area at about 2000 BST.
Meanwhile, in County Londonderry, police fired a number of warning shots after trouble broke out between two groups.
About 60 people were involved in the trouble at the Diamond, Kilrea, at about 0200 BST on Monday.
A number of people were later treated in hospital for head injuries. One man was arrested.
A man was also arrested in Limavady after stones were thrown at police after a disturbance at a bonfire site at Edenmore Road.
The fire service say they had fewer call-outs on Sunday than in previous years.
Only 55 calls were connected to bonfires.
There were 207 emergencies from 1800 BST on Sunday.
In one incident, stones were thrown at a brigade in the Sandown area of east Belfast, but the crew withdrew and no-one was injured.
