Petrol bombs have reportedly been thrown at a Border Force migrant centre in Dover.
Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called at 11:22 am to The Viaduct in Dover, where crews put out fires.
Reuters news agency – who had a photographer at the scene – reported a man threw petrol bombs attached to fireworks at the center.
The photographer captured the moment the man threw the homemade bomb from the car window. The man can be seen with a lighter in his hand as he throws the container toward the center.
He then took his own life following the incident, the agency said.
Police arrived minutes afterward and cordoned off the area.
Kent Police said: “Officers established that two to three incendiary devices had been thrown into a Home Office immigration premises.
“One minor injury has been reported.
“The suspect has been identified and located. Inquiries into the incident remain ongoing.”
A Home Office spokesperson said: “We are aware of an incident at Western Jet Foil, Dover and police are in attendance.
“It would not be appropriate to comment further at this stage.”
It comes as almost a thousand migrants arrived in the UK yesterday, making the treacherous journey across the world’s busiest shipping lane and landing at Dover.
Nathalie Elphicke, the Conservative MP for Dover, said she was “deeply shocked”.
