AMSTERDAM IN FLAMES: Historic Church Burns Amid Chaos, Riots Grip Dam Square

Police clashed with rioters and made multiple arrests in Amsterdam as the city welcomed the New Year amid widespread disorder in the historic centre, including Dam Square. Authorities said groups of youths set off fireworks and firecrackers indiscriminately, prompting police to intervene to restore order, while celebrations continued elsewhere. Separately, a major fire broke out at the tower of Vondel Church, with officials saying the cause had not yet been confirmed. Dutch police also reported that the national emergency number was overwhelmed during the night, urging residents to call only in life-threatening situations. #amsterdam, #amsterdamriots, #newyearchaos, #netherlandsnews, #damSquare, #riotpolice, #urbanunrest, #breakingnews, #worldnews, #newyear2026, #fireworksviolence, #rawfootage #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld
