The National Crisis Center (NCCN) was informed of a potential threat made to secondary schools.
The situation is being closely monitored by the services involved and preventive measures have been taken, the NCCN said in a press release on Wednesday evening.
The NCCN asks for “increased vigilance” in all schools “across the country” and to report any suspicious situation. The general threat level 3 currently applies.
The police services were informed about these measures. An investigation into the nature of this threat is ongoing.
A spokesperson for the NCCN contacted by Belga confirms that all secondary schools in Belgium are involved. They can decide for themselves about additional measures, such as closing on Thursday. Flemish secondary schools and Dutch-speaking education in Brussels are currently having spring holidays.
