Police in Northern Eire are making enquiries following the daubing of pro-Russian graffiti at a Recreation of Thrones filming location.
The graffiti – ‘Z glory to Russia’ – written within the giant phrases and referring to the image Z painted on Russian tanks throughout the Ukraine invasion, appeared on the street on the Darkish Hedges in Co Antrim.
The tree-lined route grew to become world well-known when it was featured within the HBO fantasy sequence and now attracts important numbers of vacationers.
The Police Service of Northern Eire confirmed they’ve acquired a report that graffiti had been daubed on a tunnel on the Darkish Hedges within the Bregagh Street space of Armoy.
A spokesperson stated: “Enquiries are ongoing.”

DUP North Antrim Meeting Candidate Mervyn Storey stated the sentiment of the graffiti is totally at odds with the welcome that arriving Ukrainian refugees have acquired to the realm.
“This can be a wanton act of vandalism at one in all Northern Eire’s most iconic places,” he stated.
“It’s utterly at odds with the nice and cozy welcome our area people gives to vacationers from everywhere in the world who come to see what the Darkish Hedges and the North Coast have to supply.”
Mr Storey stated he has not too long ago been capable of welcome refugees from Ukraine into his church group.
