Belgian authorities fatally shot a suspect who was allegedly wearing an explosive belt at Brussels Central Station on Tuesday. An explosion went off around 8:30 p.m., Belgian officials are calling the failed bombing a terrorist attack.

Belgium Prosecutor’s Office spokesman Eric Van Der Sypt confirmed the suspect died during the neutralization process but did not give any further details.

No injuries were reported during the attack, but according to CNN it did instill a sense of panic in people. The central station was closed and evacuated along with two other stations in the city. A witness told CNN he heard “Allah Akbar” before the heavy gunfire from authorities.

The failed bombing  comes a little over a year after suicide bombers attacked the Brussels Airport and nearby Metro station by detonating several explosions. 31 people died in the attack and hundreds were injured.
