A court in Northern Ireland has ruled that an Orange Order march may proceed through Garvaghy Road, a predominantly Catholic area, according to Al Jazeera.
A crowd gathered on the road early on Sunday morning to protest against the ruling, the report said.
Garvaghy Road has historically been a flashpoint for disputes over contentious parades in Northern Ireland, with past marches through the area drawing significant tension between unionist and nationalist communities.
Al Jazeera's report did not detail the legal grounds cited by the court in allowing the march, nor did it specify whether further legal challenges were expected.
Authorities have not been reported as announcing any additional security measures specific to this march beyond the protest gathering described.
