A third explosion in one week damaged the same house on Brouwerijstraat in Kortenberg overnight, leaving the front door and a window blown off and causing major material damage. No one was injured.
Alexandra Thienpont said Friday morning that the blast happened shortly before 2h in the night from Thursday to Friday, making it the latest in a run of explosions on the same street in the Brabant flamand. The house belongs to a young family, and another house plus several parked vehicles were also damaged.
What makes this case stand out is that the same home was hit again after already being targeted by the first explosion on Tuesday last week. During that earlier blast, a door was blown off. This time, the damage was wider, but the outcome was the same: no casualties, only a home left battered by repeated force.
That repeated pattern is now the main problem for investigators. The police fédérale laboratory and Sedee are at the scene, and the question is not just who caused the explosions, but why the same house was struck more than once in such a short period. The facts available so far do not answer that. They only show a street where November 4, the night of November 7 to 8, and the night of Thursday to Friday all ended the same way.
For the young family inside, the immediate consequence is simple and severe: the house they live in has become the target of a third blast in one week. Until investigators explain the pattern, the most important fact is not the missing motive but the repeated damage itself.
