The Deal barracks bombing was an attack by the Provisional Irish Republican Army （IRA） on the Royal Marine Depot, Deal, England.
It took place at 8:22 am on 22 September 1989, when the IRA exploded a time bomb at the Royal Marines School of Music building.
The building collapsed, killing 11 marines from the Royal Marines Band Service and wounding another 21.
The Royal Marines School of Music is a professional training centre for musicians of the Royal Marines Band Service, the musical arm of the Royal Navy.
Originally created at Portsmouth in 1930, it moved to Deal in 1950 and in 1989 was still there as part of the Royal Marine Depot, Deal.

These operations had included an attempt to kill the British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in 1984 and a similar attack on a military band in London in 1982.
At 8:22am on 22 September 1989, a 15 lb （6.8 kg） time bomb detonated in the recreational centre changing room at the Royal Marines School of Music.
The blast destroyed the recreational centre, levelled the three-storey accommodation building next to it and caused extensive damage to the rest of the base and nearby civilian homes.
The blast was heard several kilometres away, shaking windows in the centre of Deal, and created a large pall of smoke over the town.
Most of the personnel who used the building as a barracks had already risen and were practising marching on the parade ground ...
