Mysterious explosion in Budapest

budapest - The Hungarian capital Budapest is Saturday rocked by a strong explosion. Police, emergency services and government hold their tight lipped about the hit and refuse any explanation.

The explosion took place at about half eleven Oktogon Square in the center of town, not far from the Danube. Two wounded policemen, marked the only comment from the police. Thus remains unclear whether it is an attack. Around the square is turned off and the residents are removed from their homes.

In Hungary it is often speculated after the attacks in Paris and Brussels over attacks in their own country. Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been an outspoken opponent of allowing a large flow of refugees, especially when the European Union determines how many immigrants should include every country.
