WHAT WE ARE BEING TOLD SO FAR
Belgium's Prime Minister Charles Michel says there are 'many dead, many injured' as a pair of explosions tore through the check-in area of the Brussels Airport killing at least 13 people, according to Belgian broadcaster VRT. Shortly after this, during the rush hour, at least 1 explosion killed 15 people and injured 55, AP reports quoting a transport spokesman. Passengers were seen escaping by walking through the tunnel system. Belgium's terror threat level has been raised to its maximum level and residents are being asked to stay indoors. Belgian authorities believe the airport attack was probably caused by a suicide bomber, though they have not linked it to the recent arrest of Paris attacks mastermind Salah Abdeslam. Our team will continue to bring you updates on this through the day
