On Wednesday, a small accidental explosion occurred in the Seveso Umicore company located in Angleur. According to the information we have managed to collect, the explosion did not cause a fire and no casualties are to be deplored.
Quickly, the police established a security perimeter around the company which finally remained in place for about ten minutes before being lifted.
Umicore is a company located on the banks of the Ourthe and which is active in Zinc. This is a Seveso company which therefore has an activity related to the handling, manufacture, or even storage of hazardous substances.
At this time, we do not know what caused this incident.
