A police operation took place near the centre of Verviers, according to the Belga news agency, quoting federal prosecutors.
The news agency said there were several casualties and that police activity was continuing.
Explosions were reportedly heard near the city's station, according to Belgian public broadcaster RTBF.
A source from the mayor's office told AFP: "An operation is under way."
Another official allegedly claimed the incident was "jihadist-related".
Earlier today Belgian authorities arrested a man suspect of supplying weapons to the gunmen responsible for last week's terror attacks in Paris.
