A suspicious object which was located at the scene has been examined and declared as a viable, exploded pipe bomb type device.
The remnants of the device have now been taken for forensic tests and residents have been allowed to return to their homes.
Inspector Paddy Heatley said, “A report of a loud bang in the Ashgrove Road area was reported to police at around 12:40 am this morning.
“Officers attended the scene a short time after this report but were unable to find the source of the noise.
“The exploded remains of the device were then later discovered at around 2:30 pm, requiring us to close the road and keep a number of nearby residents from their homes whilst it was examined.

Dundalk-based business Q-KANGAROO, at face value, seemed a business that would most likely falter in the face of Covid-19.
The Q-KANGAROO app was developed to allow you to skip the queue at your local cafe, restaurant or deli during office lunch hour. With the app, you could order your lunch from your desk and pop down to the shop to collect it, giving you more time to enjoy your lunch hour and less time standing and waiting.
With the pandemic forcing the majority of the workforce to work from home and lockdown restrictions plunging the hospitality sector into uncertainty, the office lunch hour suddenly became a thing of the past.
The case arose when the USPCA responded to a complaint received from a concerned member of the public in June 2019.
On arrival to the scene of an alleged sett disturbance, the USPCA found an injured terrier type dog in great distress, appearing to be left behind underground by its owner.
The young dog was seized by the PSNI at the scene and taken to the USPCA animal hospital to be examined by the veterinary team and for the provision of pain relief.
The dog was in a horrific state, covered in muck, soaking wet and suffering from severe facial wounds.
