Another apartment in Antwerp, more specifically in the Merksem district, was attacked with a grenade on Thursday night.

The attack happened at Leiebos in the Merksem district of the city of Antwerp. A local resident called the police when she noticed the shutters on her window were damaged, reports De Standaard.

"The police investigated the scene and found the pin of a grenade in the grass. DOVO (the Service for the Clearance and Destruction of Explosion Units) then arrived at the scene. The federal police are on the spot to investigate," said Kristof Aerts of the Antwerp Public Prosecutor's Office, reports Het Nieuwsblad.
