Overview

• A 20-year-old Rotterdam man was arrested shortly after an early-morning explosion at a Berkelstraat portico, and investigators are examining potential ties to previous attacks at the same address.
• An overnight shooting on Arnhem’s Nieuwstad left a man in critical condition, with forensic teams on scene and police appealing for witnesses and doorbell or camera footage.
• A power failure from about 03:00 at national and Midden-Nederland traffic control centers disabled matrix signs and kept rush-hour lanes closed, triggering long delays on the A1, A12, A27 and A28.
• Rijkswaterstaat urged drivers to stay alert as some signs incorrectly showed 120 km/h; by evening the outage was resolved, congestion eased and police said drivers adhering to displayed limits will not be fined.
• Elsewhere, a Zutphen portico-flat fire led to evacuations and an Amersfoort butcher shop explosion was attributed to a fireworks bomb, with the shop owner reporting no known motive and no arrests yet.
