Eurostar has suspended all services after smoke was detected in the Channel Tunnel, the company says.
Update:
Eurotunnel spokesman John O'Keefe said passenger and freight services were suspended just after 11.25 GMT.
He said that two alarms were triggered, and that inspectors had been sent into the tunnel to investigate.
Mr O'Keefe said: "Two detectors are telling us that there is something to inspect so we stopped the traffic and sent in the inspectors to see what they say.
"The investigation into the two alarms is going on at the moment so as soon we know more we'll let [everyone] know."
