Eyewitnesses said that a man hurled petrol bombs connected to fireworks at a centre for processing migrants in the port of Dover and then killed himself.
The assailant, a white man sporting a checked shirt, drove up to the centre in a white SEAT sports utility vehicle.
A photographer said that he launched three petrol bombs, one of which didn't go off. He then drove to a nearby petrol station and killed himself, it was said. The police arrived minutes afterwards and cordoned off the site.
The incident came after almost 1,000 migrants arrived in the United Kingdom after crossing the Channel on Saturday.
Army bomb disposal units have now been seen examining the car allegedly involved in the incident. Police have cordoned off a BP petrol station on the A20 opposite the Home Office immigration centre, once known as Tug Haven. The authorities could be seen standing by a white 69-plate SEAT SUV thought to have been driven by the suspect.
The area has been closed off with police tape, while the vehicle, which was parked by the rear car wash, had been covered with blue tarpaulin.
A bomb disposal pickup truck was also spotted at the petrol station with two Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) specialists seen examining the SUV.
Suella Braverman has said she's receiving regular updates after a distressing incident in Dover when flammable devices were tossed at a migrant centre.
The Home Secretary tweeted that there was a distressing incident in Dover, and said that they were receiving regular updates on the situation.
The Home Secretary said their thoughts were with those affected, with the tireless Home Office staff and police responding, and that they must now support those officers as they carry out their investigation.
Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick will visit both Dover and Manston over concerns about tensions and overcrowing at the immigration centres.
ITV reported that Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick will visit both Dover and Manston over concerns about tensions and overcrowding at the immigration centres.
While Dover MP Natalie Elphicke told the news outlet that she alerted the Immigration Minister about growing tensions around migration after an incident raised concerns.
A Home Office spokeswoman said that they were aware of an incident at Western Jet Foil, Dover and police were in attendance and that it wouldn't be appropriate to comment further at this stage.
Instead of spending millions per day on bringing migrants to this country wouldn't it be better to spend that cash on care for our elderly and homeless, and making this country a better place? And our government should be taking away the incentives for migrants coming to this country and using the money on what is actually needed, it's not rocket science.
Our British government need to wake up quickly, otherwise, it might actually look like they're deliberately letting this happen, and it appears now that too many people are making far too much money out of the majorities pain and future suffering, and it seems that our government don't have control of these events, and you have to ask yourself this question - is there anyone even running this country or not because it actually doesn't look like it to me.
People are getting so sick of the lack of response by our leaders - what a complete and utter mess this country is in, and it appears that it's past the point of no recovery.
It needs to stop now because it's getting ridiculous and our government needs to get tougher on this situation!
