An explosion occurred at a Kruidvat store on Kinkerstraat, prompting an immediate response from local law enforcement. While authorities have confirmed no injuries resulted from the incident, police have characterized the event as a bombing on social media. Forensic teams were dispatched to the location to conduct a thorough investigation, leading to the temporary closure of the adjacent sidewalk and bicycle path for safety measures.
This incident follows a similar occurrence in May, when a significant explosion damaged a commercial property located just one hundred meters away at the intersection of Kinkerstraat and Jan Pieter Heijestraat. During that previous event, an ATM robbery caused structural damage to the building's facade. Investigators are currently working to determine the circumstances surrounding the latest blast, including whether any goods or assets were stolen during the disruption.
