AIRPORT EXPLOSIONS
Explosions tore through the departure hall of Brussels Airport on Tuesday morning causing multiple deaths and injuring many, the Belgian news agency Belga said.
The agency said shots were fired and there were shouts in Arabic shortly before the explosions.
Some reports claim the explosions happened near the American Airlines desk.
Minutes later, another explosion rocked Brussels, this time at the Maelbeek Metro Station close to European Union (EU) institutions.
Reports claim multiple people also died and many more were injured.
Belgian authorities shut down all Metro stations in and around Brussels and the Interior Ministry lifted the terror threat to the highest level.
