Amsterdam authorities suspect criminal activity involving explosives caused a powerful explosion in a residential area last week. Two men, aged 23 and 24, are now suspects in the incident and face charges including causing the explosion, endangering lives, preparing explosives, and possession of explosive materials. Seven people were injured in the blast, including the two suspects, though the severity of their injuries remains undisclosed by prosecutors. Reports indicate both suspects sustained critical injuries, potentially resulting in limb amputations. A third suspect has been released pending further investigation. The explosion, which occurred in a building’s outbuilding, caused significant damage and forced the evacuation of approximately 400 residents. Investigators are focusing on the possibility the incident was related to planned robberies using explosives.
