A series of apparent terrorist attacks in the Belgian capital of Brussels have taken place on Tuesday morning.

Two explosions were heard in the city’s airport before further explosions took place in a Metro station near EU buildings.

While the cause of the explosions is still unclear, footage has emerged of the aftermath of the events in the airport.

The video shows people running from the airport terminal, where smoke can seen billowing through the windows, which have been shattered by the force of the blast.

Local Belgian media are reporting that the death toll is at least 13, while 35 people have been seriously injured.

Another video from the scene shows the aftermath of the explosion from inside the building.
