This morning, 22 March, three explosions have rocked Brussels: two explosions happened outside the airport and one more at Maelbeek metro station.
Fatality reports, as I have read, still vary between 10 and 26 (at least); dozens have been injured — 35, at least.
The explosions at the airport took place shortly after 08:00 local time (07:00 London, 03:00 New York, 00:00 Los Angeles); the third explosion happened at 09:11 local time (08:11 London, 04:11 New York, 01:11 Los Angeles).
It has been confirmed that the airport explosions have been carried out by a suicide bomber.
Flights in and out of Brussels have all been cancelled until 18:00 local time.
