MOSCOW (Sputnik) —  According to the RTL broadcaster, a car rammed through the fence surrounding the building, located in northern Brussels, after which one or more attackers exploded a bomb at the site.

The building was reportedly empty at the time of the attack, hence the explosion did not result in any casualties.
