A nitrogen tank exploded overnight at Unipol on Rijnstraat in Oss, scattering debris across the company site, the road and surrounding industrial area. The blast also damaged a sprinkler system, and debris was cleared from Mogensebaan. One man was injured by flying debris and taken to hospital; several other people were checked by paramedics.

The explosion released a large nitrogen vapour cloud. The safety region said the danger passed quickly, though firefighters remained on site longer because fog slowed dilution, and parked cars in the area were removed. The cause remains under investigation.
