Authorities were first called to Clemenceau train station at around 1 p.m. 06 (12:00 Wednesday, Wednesday, said Willemic Baert, a spokesman for the public prosecutor’s office. No one was injured, Baert added.

However, video surveillance images showed two suspects creeping into the city’s public transport tunnels, however, the prosecution added that a search operation and investigation triggered a search operation and investigation.

Police have closed the area where several cartridge cases were found. No one has been arrested yet in connection with the shooting, which officials do not believe are terror -related.

The subsequent police operation temporarily closed Clemenceau and the nearby MIDI metropics until 1 p.m. 14 local time, reported Reuters. The latter is an arrival point for Eurostar trains from other major European capitals – including London and Paris.

Larger global institutions, including the European Union (EU) and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), are also headquartered in Brussels.

The public TV company VRT earlier reported that the events were probably drug-related, adding that the shooters had directed a person but had missed.

Photos from VRT showed two people who went into the Clemenceau Metro Station before loosening fire. Another clip showed lots of heavily armed police gathering at the station after the search for the suspects was underway.

The images could not be immediately verified by Reuters.
