Shots have been fired at Belgian police officers during a search "linked to the Paris attacks investigation".
Three officers are believed to have been slightly injured.
Two suspects were on the run after the incident, the Derniere Heure newspaper reported.
The raid came as Belgian police continued their hunt for Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in the Paris shootings and bombings which killed 130 people.
"Police were fired at," Eric Van Der Sypt, a spokesman for the federal prosecutor said.
He added that the search in the southern Forest district was "linked to the Paris attacks investigation".
Eleven people have been arrested and charged in Belgium in connection with the killings last November and eight are still in detention.
Abdeslam and his associate Mohamed Abrini, both from the Molenbeek area of Brussels, are still at large.
