Belgian police have made 16 arrests in anti-terror raids
Suspected Paris attacks gunman Salah Abdeslam remains at large, said authorities.
22 raids were carried out across Brussels and Charleroi, said Belgian prosecutor Eric van der Sypt.
Police fired two shots at a car during an operation in Molenbeek, injuring one suspect who was later arrested.
More than 130 people died and some 350 were injured in the attacks in Paris.
No weapons or explosives were found during the searches on Sunday, Mr van der Sypt said.
Brussels will remain on the highest level of terror alert, Belgium's PM Charles Michel said.
Universities, schools and the city's metro system will also remain shut. B russels has been on lockdown all weekend amid a manhunt for Abdeslam, who is suspected of being among the assailants who killed 130 people in Paris.
