Recent attacks on Turkish nationals in Belgium prove once again that the PKK terror group "is a threat to social peace and public order in Western Europe," Türkiye said on Tuesday Anadolu Agency reports.

Members of the PKK terrorist organization gathered in the city of Leuven on Sunday and attacked Turkish citizens living in the cities of Heusden-Zolder and Hauthalen, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said in a statement, adding that, "no lives were lost, but some of our citizens were injured."

"In response to the events, the Belgian authorities in Brussels and Ankara were immediately contacted," said the statement.

Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan held a phone call with his Belgian counterpart Hadja Lahbib the same night to discuss the matter, while Türkiye's diplomatic representatives in the European nation also met with their country's citizens in the cities where the incidents took place, it noted.

"Thanks to the common sense of our citizens living in Belgium, and the effective intervention of the Belgian security authorities, the incidents were prevented from escalating," the statement added.

It further added that local authorities are investigating the perpetrators.
