Overview

• Police say an overnight attempt to bomb visrestaurant Zeester in Eindhoven failed after a suspect was spotted and fled, leaving two heavy fireworks ‘shells’ at the door that specialists secured.
• Hours later, officers found a plastic bag containing cobra devices and flammable liquid near a flat at Gerretsonplein; the EOD rendered the area safe after evacuations and is assessing any connection to the restaurant incident.
• In Almere, a 04.00 fire at the Leger des Heils night shelter left two residents hospitalized for smoke inhalation and forced 14 people from damaged fourth‑floor apartments to sleep elsewhere pending repairs.
• Amsterdam Noord bus services were disrupted when police permit checks pulled 23 GVB buses off the road; police say the operation was preannounced, and GVB cites missing onboard documents and pending special permits for new electric buses.
• The mother of the 15‑year‑old shot by police in Capelle aan den IJssel is filing a complaint and seeking independent review, as the OM reports the teen carried a converted gas‑alarm pistol and the Rijksrecherche continues its investigation.
