A statement from Belgian police says there was “an explosion around a person” but would not confirm more than that, or if the suspect was still alive. Police say one suspect has been “neutralized” by soldiers assigned to guard the central station.

One witness, an employee at the train station, claims the suspect shouted “Allah Akbar” before detonating, but that has not been reported by any other witnesses.

Belgian police now say the incident is “under control.” Brussels North and Brussels South stations in the city have also been swept and cleared out of an abundance of caution. All rail service has been suspended from all three stations.

No one is reported injured or killed in the blast at this time. Officials are working to determine a motive now, per Sky News.

This is a developing story.
