An explosion damaged a building over the weekend in the Dutch city of Den Bosch, at a site the municipality plans to use to house asylum seekers, according to regional broadcaster Omroep Brabant on Monday, Anadolu reports.

Police said the incident occurred at a former police station in De Beverspijken, on the border between Engelen and Den Bosch.

Investigators later determined that an explosive device had been used earlier in the weekend, causing damage to a window.

Police said the damage was discovered after a passerby alerted authorities on Sunday evening.

An explosives expert was sent to the scene, where fireworks residue and a liquid substance were also found.

Police said evidence was secured as part of the investigation.

The building, located in a business park, is intended by the municipality to house 50 minor asylum seekers.

The plan has previously sparked demonstrations, including repeated protests in the area and disruptions to nearby roads and highways.

The municipality has held several information sessions for residents and business owners and is scheduled to hold an online meeting on Monday.
