Gun violence in Brussels: 'Everyone can be hit by a bullet'

The article reports on escalating gun violence in Brussels, Belgium, linked to rival drug gangs fighting over territory. State prosecutor Julien Moinil has expressed concern over the increasing number of firearm incidents, noting around 170 such cases since 2025, with 69 occurring this year alone. Two people were killed in violent attacks last year. Moinil called for stricter measures against drug cartels, including the arrest of their leaders, who often operate abroad, and greater police resources to investigate these groups. The article highlights the broader issue of drug trafficking through Belgium, particularly via the port of Antwerp, and notes that over 350 local businesses have been closed due to ties to the drug trade.
