Responsibility claimed for attacks in Brussels
Over 30 people have reportedly been killed in the Belgian capital.
The so-called Islamic State has claimed responsibility for terror attacks in the Belgian capital which unconfirmed reports suggest have killed 34 people.
Up to 14 died and around 100 were injured in two explosions in the departure hall of Brussels Airport.
Shortly after, an explosion at a metro station near the main EU buildings is thought to have killed at least twenty and injured 106.
Belgium's Prime Minister has warned there could be more attacks.
CCTV has been released of three men at the airport - two of whom are thought to have been suicide bombers, and a third who is reported to be on the run.
One of the bombs at the airport is believed to have been a suicide attack, with local media reports, shots were fired and words shouted in Arabic before the blast.
An assault rifle was reportedly found next to a dead attacker.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Charlie Flanagan says It is still believed that no Irish people have been killed or injured in the Brussels attacks.
