28.12.2024 โ‡ข The Day Bouterse's Liver Met Vroomshoop's Fire
โŒจDense fog caused transport disruptions across the Netherlands, with flight cancellations and road accidents marking the morning. The start of firework sales prompted long queues, while authorities intercepted 4000kg of illegal fireworks at the German border.

A deadly house fire in Vroomshoop emerged as the day's central story, with two residents killed in what authorities described as a targeted attack. A suspect from Ridderkerk was arrested.

Putin's apology for what he termed a "tragic incident" with an Azerbaijani aircraft followed previous day's developments about Russian involvement in the crash. The Surinamese government declined Bouterse a state funeral, while the prosecutor's office revealed he died from liver failure due to alcohol abuse, providing closure to the mystery surrounding his death earlier this week.

A KLM aircraft made an emergency landing in Norway following technical issues, with all passengers evacuated safely.
