A man has been arrested amid an anti-terror operation sparked by a bomb alert at a shopping Centre in Brussels, authorities said.

Police were notified of a "suspicious situation" earlier in the morning and an operation is ongoing, Belgian media report, citing a police spokesman.

Streets around the City 2 shopping Centre had been closed off.

City 2 tightened security measures last week in response to media reports of a heightened threat to shopping centers based on an internal police memo, Belgian daily Le Soir reports.

Bomb attacks on Brussels airport and the city’s metro killed 32 people in March and were claimed by the Daesh [Arabic acronym for "ISIS" / "ISIL"] group.
