Overview
- ProRail completed repairs to lightning-damaged signalling equipment and a successful test run allowed trains between Groningen and Zuidhorn to resume service.
- A house in Ridderkerk was destroyed by fire and the resident was taken in for questioning after police declared the property a crime scene while neighbours cast doubt on the stated cause.
- Two near-concurrent shootings in Rotterdam-Delfshaven produced one person critically injured and left investigators searching for suspects with no arrests reported.
- The Defence Explosive Ordnance Disposal team attended a suspicious find in Almere that was cordoned off and rendered safe, and police seized an automatic firearm and other weapons during a company inspection in Monster.
- Justice and politics moved in parallel: at least 64 victims in the Tarwekamp explosion have filed damage claims as the case moves toward substantive hearings, and the cabinet insisted it will not relax the national nitrogen package.
