Smoke under a metro train at the Gare du Midi, several stations evacuated

The Brussels firefighters are currently intervening for a release of smoke that occurred under a metro train in the Gare du Midi station.

The incident is linked to a technical problem, warns the STIB. “As a precaution, the STIB has evacuated several stations until the smoke clears.”

Traffic is interrupted between Arts-Lois and Osseghem, as announced by Stib on its Twitter account.

Nothing to do, therefore, with the threat of an attack announced this morning in the media.
