One person was arrested early on Saturday after three explosions were heard on the outskirts of the Southeast Belgian city of Liege, L'Avenir newspaper reported.

The blasts have slightly injured one person and caused minor property damage, the report said, adding the motive behind the blasts remains unclear.
