Authorities in Liège on Monday condemned an early-morning explosion outside a synagogue in the city, describing it as a serious act of anti-Semitism.
The blast occurred shortly before 4:00 a.m. outside the synagogue. No injuries were reported, but windows of buildings opposite the place of worship were damaged.
Police immediately cordoned off the area, closing the street and establishing a security perimeter as investigations into the incident continue.
Mayor Willy Demeyer strongly condemned the attack, calling it an “extremely violent act of anti-Semitism.”
