Explosive device partially detonates under van in Eindhoven
Police cordoned off a street and called in the Defence Explosive Ordnance Disposal Service.
An explosive device partially detonated under a van in the 2e Franklinstraat in Eindhoven on Sunday afternoon. Police closed the street in a residential area; the EOD was called in to make the situation safe.
According to Omroep Brabant, officers found explosives under the van that had not yet gone off or had only partially detonated. The Explosieven Opruimingsdienst Defensie was required to make the situation safe.
After the EOD's work, police were expected to conduct forensic examination. This will investigate exactly what was found, where the explosive device came from and how it ended up under the van.
No reliable information about a possible suspect, a motive or the owner of the van has been made public. Nor has it been reported whether anyone was injured or precisely what damage occurred.
The incident took place in the 2e Franklinstraat, in the middle of a residential area. As the investigation was still under way at the time of publication, the cordon and traffic situation may have changed later.
