Overview
- An explosion around 13:00 Sunday at a flat on Ocarinalaan in Rijswijk blew out part of a fourth‑floor gallery, ignited a fire that was quickly extinguished, and caused no injuries as authorities assess damage and arrange temporary housing.
- Just before 06:00 Monday an explosive detonated at a portico on Berkelstraat in Rotterdam‑Kralingen, and police arrested a 20‑year‑old Rotterdam man shortly afterward as they probe ties to earlier blasts and a shooting at the address in May.
- Since about 03:00 Monday a power failure at national and regional traffic control centers knocked out matrix signs and kept spitsstroken closed on key routes around Utrecht, displaying 120 km/h where 100 applies and causing long delays.
- Police said drivers who followed the displayed 120 km/h during the malfunction will not receive fines, and a mobile speed camera on the A27 near Hollandse Rading was withdrawn.
- By early evening Rijkswaterstaat reported the matrix‑sign outage was resolved and systems were functioning again after a day of disruption.
