On Friday night, an explosive device exploded first in the Brikstraat in Rotterdam and later in the Brikstraat in Dordrecht, around 30 kilometers away, the police said.
In both cases there was damage to the house facade. Police suspected that the explosion in Rotterdam was a mistake and that Brikstraat in Dordrecht was the actual target. The police initially did not provide any information about the background to the explosions.
In the Netherlands, however, explosions and arson attacks have been occurring for some time now, and the drug community is suspected to be behind them. The explosives or incendiary devices placed at house entrances, facades or shops usually cause property damage, but no one is usually injured in the nighttime attacks. Young people are often hired as henchmen.
The fact that perpetrators obviously made mistakes in the attacks in the Netherlands is so common that there is already a vocabulary for it in everyday language. The media spoke on Friday of a “forget explosion”, an accidental explosion. And the term “Vergismoord” (murder committed by mistake) has already found its way into the national dictionary Van Dale, comparable to the German Duden.
