Belgian police are searching for suspects after a shooting near Clemenceau metro station in Brussels early Wednesday. Multiple stations have been closed, but no injuries were reported. Investigators are probing possible drug-related links.
Belgian police have launched a search operation following a shooting near an underground station in Brussels.
The incident took place around 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday outside Clemenceau metro station, close to Brussels-Midi Station, according to local media reports. In response, authorities have closed Clemenceau, Trone, and Gare de l'Ouest metro stations as they hunt for the suspects, The Brussels Times reported.
CCTV footage, cited by Reuters, reportedly captured two individuals entering the station and opening fire, though the agency could not immediately verify the images.
"The suspects fled towards the metro station and may still be inside the tunnel between Clemenceau and Midi stations," a police spokesperson told Belga News Agency.
Brussels Midi police, along with federal railway officers, are searching the area. No injuries have been reported.
Images from the scene show emergency services, including firefighters and paramedics, responding to the incident, with a police cordon in place. Several tram and metro services have also been suspended.
Local media sources close to the investigation suggest the shooting may have been linked to drug-related activity.
