Riots Erupt in Ballymena Over Teen Assault Case; 32 Officers Injured

Riots erupted in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, following protests over the alleged sexual assault of a teenage girl by two 14-year-old boys, who appeared in court and denied the charges. Seventeen police officers were injured on June 9, bringing the total to 32 since the violence began. Fires damaged four homes, now being investigated as racially motivated hate crimes. Reuters verified footage of the unrest. Police have arrested six individuals so far for riot-related offences, including five on Wednesday.
