Explosive detonates again in Kortenberg town centre
Shortly after 21:00 on Saturday, an explosive device detonated once again at a residence on Brouwerijstraat in Kortenberg, according to vrt.be. The incident occurred directly opposite the church, in the centre of the municipality.
The blast damaged a letterbox, a window and a parked car. No one was injured. The suspects left the scene following the incident; police are investigating their whereabouts.
Uncertainty remains about the type of explosive used. An investigation is ongoing.
This is the second time in several days that Brouwerijstraat has been the scene of an incident. Earlier this week, an incendiary device was thrown at a residence. Mayor Alexandra Thienpont (Team Burgemeester) described that attack at the time as "a targeted action".
Whether there is a connection between the incendiary device from earlier this week and Saturday's explosion has not yet been established.
