Tensions flared at the Étangs Noirs metro station in Brussels on Sunday evening following Morocco’s football defeat against Senegal in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Fireworks were set off, barriers were thrown, and an explosive device detonated in the middle of the square, according to Belga News Agency.
Several hundred people, including many young individuals, gathered around the metro station in the Molenbeek-Saint-Jean area, with adjacent streets bustling with mopeds.
As of 10:45 pm, police officers were not visibly deployed in the vicinity.
A group of volunteers, including local officials from the municipality, worked to defuse the situation and calm tensions.
