A man has been arrested after a church supplies truck was reversed through the gates of the Russian Embassy in Dublin.
Gardaí say are investigating criminal damage on Orwell Road earlier this afternoon.
The man who was arrested is being held at Rathfarnham Garda Station.
Protests have been taking place outside the Embassy over the past couple of weeks in reaction to the war in Ukraine.

The Russian Embassy says it condemns what it calls a "criminal act of insanity", after a truck was reversed through its gates earlier.
In a statement, the Embassy said it believes "no people of sound mind could support such senseless and barbaric actions."
