Belgium: Suspicious package prompts authorities to evacuate Liege-Guillemins train station in Liege late June 8

Authorities are responding to the discovery of a suspicious package at Liege-Guillemins train station in Liege as of late June 8. Officials have reportedly closed and evacuated the facility and prohibited trains from passing through the station. Authorities did not immediately specify when the station would reopen to passengers and train traffic.

Officials will almost certainly maintain a heightened security presence in the vicinity of the station until the suspicious package is neutralized or deemed not to pose a security risk. Lingering disruptions will likely affect trains scheduled to travel via Liege-Guillemins even after the station reopens, especially in the event that a train backlog materializes.
