Police in Northern Ireland are appealing for witnesses and information following separate arson attacks in Ballymena, Co Antrim and Downpatrick, Co Down in the early hours of this morning.
Petrol bombs were thrown at a flat in the incident in Ballymena.
A PSNI spokesperson said: "We received a report at around 3.05am that two suspected petrol bombs had been thrown at a ground-floor flat in the Drumtara area.
"Officers attended the scene, where colleagues from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service were already present.
"On arrival, evidence of petrol bombs was noted and the living room window was also smashed.
"One person was in the flat at the time of the incident.
"No injuries were reported, however, this was obviously a shock for them and there was significant damage caused to the interior of their home."
The PSNI also said they had received a report of a fire at a property in the Saul Street area of Downpatrick around 1.50am.
"Officers attended the scene, where the front door of the house was on fire and a number of ground-floor windows smashed," said a spokesperson.
"Colleagues from the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service were already present and subsequently extinguished the fire before it spread to any neighbouring properties. Colleagues from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service also attended.
"However, the two people who were in the property at the time of the attack, were able to exit the house safely and no injuries were reported.
"This was obviously a shock for them, however, and there was significant damage caused to their home."
Police said both incidents are being treated as arson with intent to endanger life.
