Unknown event in Antwerp, Antwerp area, Belgium on Thu 24th November 2022
24th November 2022
The incident took place a little before 5.30pm. More than likely, unknown persons threw an explosive at the residence and then quickly disposed of it. A casual passer-by speaks of a brief stabbing flame at least three metres high. "We heard a tremendously loud bang and immediately thought of a gas explosion, but once outside, the damage appeared to be limited to a parked car and the front door of the house," says one neighbour. The police set up a perimeter and the judicial lab and demining service Dovo arrived at the scene for trace investigation. No one was injured. The targeted house was recently sold but is still occupied by its previous owners. Whether the attack is again framed in the drug milieu and who exactly was targeted is not yet clear. "The context and circumstances are part of the further investigation" said Antwerp police spokesman Wouter Bruyns. Shortly after the events, police picked up a person behaving suspiciously, but he was released again a short time later.
