BRUSSELS , June 20 (Xinhua) -- The Brussels Central Station was evacuated Tuesday evening after a small explosion occurred within the station, local authorities confirmed.
The Brussels police department said on Twitter that the situation is now under control.

Unconfirmed sources say that the man was shot.
A witness told local media that the man was seen lying on the floor inside the station, with wires coming out of his clothes.

LOS ANGELES, May 27 (Xinhua) -- American film star Tom Cruise has just confirmed his intention to film "Top Gun 2 ," the long-awaited sequel to his iconic classic "Top Gun."
He made the announcement while on a recent promotional junket to Australia for his latest movie, The Mummy, co-starring Australian-native Russell Crow and French-Algerian Sophia Boutella.
Plans for the sequel have been years in the making, and Joseph Kosinki, who directed Cruise in his 2013 sci-fi epic "Oblivion," is rumored to be on the short list to direct "Top Gun 2." Kosinski also helmed "Tron: Legacy" reboot and the upcoming heroic firefighting drama "Granite Mountain."
Tom Cruise's starring performance as "Maverick", the rebellious young pilot in "Top Gun" , which was filmed in 1986, established him as a major new Hollywood star and helped launch his career into the stratosphere.
Speculation on casting is also running high in Hollywood, including rumors that Val Kilmer might be called upon to reprise his role as Iceman, Maverick's rival for the "Top Gun" spot. Kilmer had a recent, serious bout with cancer, but is purportedly recovering well.
The film will be produced by industry giant, Jerry Bruckheimer and David Ellison. Ellison is a young , savvy, Hollywood producer and the son of Larry Ellison, Founder and CEO of the computer industry giant, Oracle.
Though the original "Top Gun" movie met with moderate critical press reviews, it went on to become a spectacular financial and popular success around the world. It cost a mere 15 million U.S. dollars to produce, but has grossed over 350 million U.S. dollars worldwide to date, plus raked in hundreds of millions more in video and DVD sales. Not bad for a modestly-budgeted movie whose success took everyone by surprise.
"Top Gun" inspired legions of fans who responded to the universal tale of youth striving to compete shoulder-to-shoulder with the best of the best and to find it in themselves to be all that they could be.
