He added that overnight "there was no direct confrontation between police and youths" and that no officers had been injured. The night before, nine police officers were wounded and 10 police cars damaged when scores of youths hurled firebombs and other missiles at police, Belgian prosecutors said Friday. The incidents broke out when police tried to check the identity of one youth, and around 60 people, including members of his family members, lobbed objects at the officers. A subsequent wave of attacks at another site saw one officer hit in the back with a firebomb. Prosecutors said three youths, including one minor, face prosecution. There has been a surge of incidents involving gangs, in one case armed with a stolen Kalashnikov rifle.
