Belgium has raised the alert status for Brussels to four, the highest possible level.
People are being warned to avoid crowds because of a “serious and imminent” threat.
More soldiers and police have already been deployed in the wake of the Paris attacks, including in the city’s iconic Grand Place.
The threat level for the whole of Belgium has been raised to three – meaning there is a possible or probable threat.
French national Salah Abdeslam, whose brother blew himself up in the French capital, remains at large and is the subject of an international arrest warrant.
