|December 08, 2024
At least three people have died, four were injured and an unknown number of people are missing after a three-storey building in the Netherlands collapsed yesterday following explosions and a fire.

Loud bangs rocked the Mariahoeve neighbourhood in The Hague at about 0615 local time (0515 GMT) and images of the scene showed one segment, encompassing about five apartments, had been reduced to ashes and rubble.
The cause of the explosion is unclear, but police said they are looking for a car which was seen leaving the scene at high speed. Mayor Jan van Zanen said investigators are looking into “all possibilities”. He added that there had been a small explosion, followed by a larger explosion.
