Supermarket Lokeren closes after fire in freezer: "No link to recent hacking"

Aldi in Lokeren remains closed following a fire in its freezer department, which occurred due to unclear reasons. The fire, which broke out in the morning, extinguished itself but caused significant smoke and soot damage. The store operator decided to keep the supermarket closed for cleanup, emphasizing that this incident is unrelated to recent hacking incidents affecting European chains, as the freezer was not internet-connected. A repair technician is assessing the situation.
