On 13 July 2018, a home-made bomb was thrown at Adams' home in West Belfast, damaging a car parked in his driveway. Adams escaped injury and claimed that his two grandchildren were standing in the driveway only ten minutes before the blast. Another bomb was set off that same evening at the nearby home of former IRA [[Volunteer (Irish republican)|volunteer]] and Sinn Féin official [[Bobby Storey]]. In a press conference the following day, Adams said he thought the attacks were linked to the [[2018 Derry riots|riots in Derry]], and asked that those responsible "come and sit down" and "give us the rationale for this action".<ref>{{Cite news |title=Gerry Adams demands bombers who attacked his house explain why |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/gerry-adams-derry-riots-sinn-fein-explosive-device-northern-ireland-a8447151.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180714164522/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/gerry-adams-derry-riots-sinn-fein-explosive-device-northern-ireland-a8447151.html |archive-date=14 July 2018 |access-date=24 July 2018 |work=The Independent}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Ainsworth |first=Paul |date=16 July 2018 |title=Video: CCTV captures attack on Gerry Adams' home |url=https://www.irishnews.com/news/northernirelandnews/2018/07/16/news/belfast-rally-to-show-support-for-gerry-adams-following-attack-on-home-1382981/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180716175514/https://www.irishnews.com/news/northernirelandnews/2018/07/16/news/belfast-rally-to-show-support-for-gerry-adams-following-attack-on-home-1382981/ |archive-date=16 July 2018 |access-date=24 July 2018 |work=The Irish News |language=en}}</ref>
