Airport and Metro closed after explosions

Brussels, Belgium - 22 March 2016

Brussels Airport is closed and all incoming flights have been diverted to other European destinations, following two explosions at about 0800 hours this morning (Tuesday 22 March).

Shortly afterwards, there was a blast at the Maelbeek station in the Brussels Metro system. The city's bus, tram and Metro systems have all been closed and the city is effectively unreachable by air or road. Eurostar has now cancelled services in and out of Brussels Midi.

According to reports, the country has raised its terror threat from level three to the maximum level four.

So far, however, operations at Belgian seaports are continuing as usual.
