The explosion took place around three in the morning, on the third floor of the building. No injuries are to be deplored but the material damage is substantial, according to the Antwerp police. “Doors were blown out and part of the ceiling was damaged,” said police spokesman Wouter Bruyns.
The whole building was evacuated. The inhabitants of the other fifteen apartments were accommodated in a community center. An investigation is ongoing, but police believe an explosive was the cause of the incident. “A link with the drug world is not excluded”, according to Mr. Bruyns. Police, firefighters, bomb disposal services, and the forensic laboratory were all dispatched to the scene.
