Five cars damaged in an explosion in Antwerp

Five cars were damaged in Antwerp, Belgium in the early hours of Monday morning after a device exploded under car.The blast took place on De Pretstraat near Spoor Noord Park in Antwerp at around 4:00 am.

Belgian police believe the explosions are being linked to a settling of accounts in local drug circles.

The police also discovered a second explosive device on the scene, which was destroyed in a controlled explosion.

Three unexploded grenades were discovered last Friday in the same neighbourhood. A couple of weeks ago, several cars were also heavily damaged by explosions, probably caused by grenades thrown under the vehicles.

Several arrests have been made related to incidents, but the prosecution declined to comment on the matter.
