Another small explosion took place in the Deurne neighbourhood of Antwerp on Thursday evening.
Some sort of firebomb went off against the facade of a building a little after 8:30 PM, and nobody was hurt. The only damages were a blackened facade.
The circumstances of the explosion are being investigated, but this isn’t the first time the area has been disturbed by such bombs.
