An explosion occurred last night in front of a synagogue in Liège, Belgium, damaging the building but without causing injuries.

The synagogue, built in 1899 and also functioning as a museum of the Jewish community, suffered significant damage, including the destruction of the main window. Mayor Willy Demeyer condemned this violent act of antisemitism, emphasizing that the city of Liège promotes respect and does not accept the importation of external conflicts. Locals were awakened by the sound of the explosion, and the police closed the street and established a safety perimeter. The investigation is being conducted by the terrorism division of the Federal Judicial Police in Liège, and bomb disposal teams have been sent to the scene to assess the situation.
