Two explosions have hit Brussels’ Zaventem airport, killing up to 13 people and injuring dozens, hospital sources told local media.

Shortly after the airport blasts on Tuesday morning, an explosion also struck the Maelbeek metro station in the centre of the Belgian capital, close to European Union institutions.

The Belgian federal prosecutor told state media the explosion at the airport was a suicide attack.

Footage from the airport - the country’s largest - showed people running from the terminal building as plumes of smoke rose to the sky.
