Belgian prosecutors have stated that a man who attacked two soldiers in Brussels, the capital of the country, with a knife was shot dead by security forces. According to Reuters, the two soldiers who were attacked sustained minor injuries. One was injured in the face and the other in the hand. In this context, a spokesperson for the prosecution mentioned that the attacker was a 30-year-old man with no history of terrorist activities. Reuters reports that following the terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels in 2015 and 2016, military forces have been deployed in the streets of Brussels alongside police forces. Earlier this year, a suspect in a suicide attack at Brussels Central Station was shot dead by soldiers. Eyewitnesses reported that a man carrying a backpack shouted 'Allahu Akbar,' and then an object near him exploded. However, despite this explosion, no one within a three-meter radius was harmed. In April of last year, three explosions at the international airport and metro of Brussels left at least 34 dead and around 200 injured. The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for these explosions. In this context, two Belgian police officers were injured in an attack suspected of being terrorism, and Belgian police arrested three individuals in four anti-terror raids. The Islamic State group also claimed responsibility for the shooting in Paris.
