Army bomb experts and police are at the scenes of four security alerts in Northern Ireland.
An explosive device is thought to have gone off underneath a car in Belfast on Wednesday night, and roads have been closed and homes evacuated in two other areas of the city after suspicious objects were found.
Rail services between Belfast and Dublin have also been disrupted after another object was left on the line.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said: "We believe at this stage that a device may have exploded, or partially exploded under a parked car, causing extensive damage to the car."
Bomb experts are examining an object found at the scene. The car was badly damaged, but no one was injured.
Suspicious objects were also found in the road in North Queen Street and Friendly Street on Thursday.
Rail services between Belfast and Dublin have been suspended after a device was discovered on the line in Lurgan, Co Armagh.
Translink tweeted that the line had been closed between Portadown and Belfast on Wednesday evening after the security alert.
It said: "There is a security alert at Bell's Row Lurgan, until further notice services will make amended calls. Bus subs in place."
Police were alerted after suspicious activity at the Bells Row crossing near Antrim Road.
The PSNI tweeted on Wednesday night: "Police have been made aware of suspicious activity around the Bells Row crossing in the vicinity of Antrim Road, Lurgan, this evening.
"Translink have closed the Belfast to Dublin railway line until further notice."
Sinn Fein leader Gerry Adams called on those behind the suspected car bomb to stop violence.
Speaking to Reuters, he said: "Clearly whoever is responsible should desist.
"If you want to keep the union or you want a united Ireland, there's now a peaceful and democratic way so these actions should stop."
The threat level for Northern Ireland-related terrorism is currently severe - meaning an attack is considered highly likely.
Andrew Parker, the head of MI5, said last month that dissident Republicans continued to pose a threat in Northern Ireland.
