A memorial to 18 soldiers murdered by the IRA in Warrenpoint has been vandalised.

Police received a report on Thursday morning that floral tributes commemorating the Narrow Water massacre had been damaged.

On 27 August 1979, 18 soldiers were killed by two IRA roadside bombs.

This is not the first time the memorial has been targeted. In July 2016, wreaths and remembrance crosses were found scattered on the banks of nearby Carlingford Lough.
