Dutch asylum protests escalate into riots for third night

Riots erupted for the third consecutive night in the Dutch city of Apeldoorn on Monday as protests against planned asylum seeker arrivals descended into violence.

The escalating demonstrations also saw an explosion reported in nearby Den Bosch, though details remain limited. The unrest reflects growing tensions in the Netherlands over asylum policy and migrant integration.

Local authorities have not yet issued statements on arrests, injuries or the scale of property damage from the renewed violence.
