Police in the Netherlands said there is no indication that another nation was responsible for the railway fire that disrupted train traffic in the Netherlands on the first day of the NATO Summit in The Hague. However, authorities still believe the fire was intentionally set, and it’s most likely that the fire was started to disrupt train service on that specific date, police said on Thursday.

荷兰警方表示，没有迹象表明另一个国家应对在海牙举行的北约峰会第一天导致荷兰火车交通中断的铁路火灾负责。然而，警方周四表示，当局仍然认为火灾是故意纵火，最有可能的是，火灾是在那个特定日期开始扰乱火车服务的。

An investigation has revealed that accelerants were used in the blaze, the police said in an update. Detectives and analysts ruled out the possibility of a technical malfunction or an accident as the cause. There are also no indications that the fire started due to vandals attempting to steal copper used in the infrastructure.

警方在最新消息中说，调查显示，火灾中使用了助燃剂。侦探和分析人员排除了技术故障或事故的可能性。也没有迹象表明火灾是由于破坏分子试图窃取用于基础设施的铜而引起的。

The railway fire took place at Oeverlandenweg in Amsterdam Nieuw-West on June 24, damaging several stretches of power cables. As a result, train traffic between Schiphol Airport and the cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht was suspended that day.

6月24日，阿姆斯特丹新西区奥弗兰登维格铁路发生火灾，损坏了几段电力电缆。因此，史基浦机场与阿姆斯特丹和乌得勒支之间的火车交通当天暂停。

The fire broke out between 2:51 and 3:21 a.m., investigators said. Police distributed footage of three bicyclists travelling north from the overpass via Adam Smithplein at around 3:00 a.m.

调查人员说，火灾发生在凌晨2点51分到3点21分之间。警方发布的录像显示，大约凌晨3点，三名骑自行车的人从立交桥经亚当史密斯广场向北行驶。

They are currently considered persons of interest in the case, with police saying they may be important witnesses to the incident.

他们目前被认为与此案有关，警方称他们可能是该事件的重要证人。

A taxi driver and his passenger are also being asked to come forward. The passenger was dropped off at around 3:30 a.m. near the Adam Smith Building. Police are also requesting dashcam footage from the early morning hours.

一名出租车司机和他的乘客也被要求出面。这名乘客于凌晨3:30左右在亚当·史密斯大楼附近下车。警方还要求获得凌晨行车记录仪的录像。
