An overnight blast against an exterior wall of a Jewish school in Amsterdam caused no injuries, Mayor Femke Halsema said on Saturday, denouncing it as "a cowardly act of aggression".
An investigation has been opened into the incident, which follows nighttime attacks this week in front of synagogues in the Belgian city of Liege and the Dutch port city of Rotterdam, news agency AFP reported.
