In a night of unrest during Bonfire Night celebrations, police in Edinburgh were assaulted with fireworks, bricks, and bottles in several neighborhoods, including Gilmerton and Sighthill. Scottish Secretary Ian Murray condemned the violence and called for stricter regulations on firework sales. Police Scotland intensified their response, implementing stop and search powers in areas affected by anti-social behavior due to heightened tensions. The operation, supported by additional resources including a police helicopter, aimed to ensure public safety amid reports of disorder and injuries. Buses were rerouted as police worked to manage the situation.
