Large fire breaks out in Dutch city of Utrecht following explosion

The cause remains unknown, and several structures reportedly collapsed with significant damage. Eyewitnesses described hearing a "deafening bang," and nearby shops were heavily affected. Local residents have been evacuated, and the public is advised to avoid the area.
