Three Arrested After Deadly Apartment Explosions in The Hague

Six people were killed and four injured in suspected criminal blasts that destroyed a residential building and nearby businesses.

Two explosions early Saturday morning in The Hague caused a three-story residential building to collapse, killing six people, including three members of one family, and injuring four others.
Dutch police have arrested three suspects in connection to the explosions and seized several vehicles, though the exact cause remains under investigation.
Authorities have ruled out a gas leak or the presence of a drug lab as potential causes, shifting focus to a possible targeted attack on a bridal boutique located in the building.
The explosions have been linked to a broader rise in explosive attacks across the Netherlands, with over 1,000 incidents reported this year, often tied to criminal activities or disputes.
Forensic investigations are ongoing, and officials have not ruled out further arrests as they appeal for more witness reports and evidence.
