Another person has been found dead in the rubble after Saturday's explosion in a residential area in the Dutch city of The Hague. A total of five people have been confirmed dead.

Four people are being treated in hospital, where the condition of two of them is critical.

It is unclear how many people may still be trapped under the rubble. Rescue workers continued their search throughout the night. Yesterday, the rescue service reported that around 20 people were missing.

The explosion and subsequent fire led to the destruction of several apartments when part of the building collapsed. The cause of the explosion is still unknown.
