Emergency services are at the Border Force migrant processing centre in Dover, Kent, after a Reuters witness says a man threw petrol bombs before killing himself.

The man drove up to the centre and threw three petrol bombs, one of which did not go off, Reuters reported.

The agency said he drove to a nearby petrol station where he killed himself.
