Train traffic between Schaarbeek and Brussels-Noord was disrupted due to a bomb threat on an Eurostar train.

Federal police conducted a security sweep, causing suspension of train services around the Brussels capital region.

Belgian rail company NMBS warns of serious disruptions for several hours and advises passengers to consult their app or in-station screens.

Even though NMBS has resolved the initial problem, residual delays are still anticipated.

Passengers have faced significant delays as trains to Brussels were stopped outside the city.

A separate incident involving a threatening passenger on an Eurostar train from Dortmund to Paris also caused delays near Bruxelles-Nord.

While disruptions are ongoing, train services are gradually resuming to normal operations.
