Police have made safe a pipe bomb device found in north Belfast on Thursday.
Police and ammunition technical officers attended the scene on the Antrim Road after the discovery of a suspicious object.
The viable pipe bomb-type device was made safe and has been taken away for further examination, police said.
The security alert that was issued earlier has ended and the Antrim Road has fully reopened.
Cordons had been put in place for several hours for traffic and pedestrians at Rosemount Gardens, Willowbank Gardens, Limestone Road and Hopefield Avenue.
Police thanked the people for their patience while the operation was carried out.
