Police services say they’ll do all they can to ensure that a similar incident doesn’t happen again.

A man attacked a migrant centre with gasoline bombs before killing himself, witnesses said.

The attacker is said to have set off the bombs with fireworks at a new British Border Forces immigration center at the Port of Dover.

The incident occurred around 11:20am on Sunday, Kent Police confirmed.

Witnesses said the white man in a striped shirt drove to the center in a white Seat sports car.

He got out and threw three petrol bombs, one of which did not explode, a photographer told Reuters.

Police arrived minutes later and cordoned off the area.

Local police were not immediately available for comment.

A Home Office spokesman said: “We are aware of an incident at Western Jet Foil, Dover and police are in attendance. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage,” reports Metro.

A Kent Police spokesman said: “Kent Police was called at 11.22am on Sunday 30 October 2022 to The Viaduct in Dover. Officers established that two to three incendiary devices had been thrown into a Home Office immigration premises. One minor injury has been reported. The suspect has been identified and located. Enquiries into the incident remain ongoing,” reported Metro.
