An explosion occurred in a neighborhood in the Dutch capital early Saturday, destroying several apartments and injuring several people, authorities said.
The cause of the Hague disaster is unknown.
Emergency authorities said four people were rescued from the rubble and taken to hospital, but they could not say how many were still remaining under the rubble.
A line of ambulances could also be seen waiting nearby in anticipation of more casualties.
A local hospital spokesperson said they were on standby to attend to the injured.
Residents of The Hague's northeast district of Mariahove heard loud bangs and screams before dawn.
One woman told local media she thought there was an earthquake.
Dutch authorities sent a specialized urban search and rescue team to the scene, along with four dogs trained to find victims.
The team was also used during the devastating 2023 earthquake in Türkiye.
