Another shooting in Brussels
This is already the third shooting in Brussels within three days. On Wednesday morning, near Clemenceau metro station, two men fired automatic weapons, which caused disruptions in public transport services. Fortunately, no one was injured.
On Thursday, another shooting occurred, also near Clemenceau metro station, where one person was injured. In recent days, local services have noted an increase in crime in the Belgian capital, and the prosecutor's office is investigating possible links between these incidents.
