Original report cover · Open PDF ↗Scope & reporting context
Published 27 October 2026, with a research cut-off of the same date. Includes a confirmed-record overview, incident analysis, historical comparators, protective assessment and a source ledger. Police ruled out a gas explosion. A visual resemblance to a large firework is not a forensic finding. Organised-crime involvement and links to other attacks remain lines of enquiry rather than established connections; the exact premises number and incident coordinates remain unpublished.
