Paris, Mar 22 (IBNS): The iconic Eiffel Tower is likely to be lit up with Belgium's national colours to stand in solidarity with the nation that was hit by three blasts on Tuesday.

Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo was quoted as saying by The Local: "Today Europe is targeted at her heart."

"Once more it is basic values that are attacked: freedom, humanism, tolerance and unshakeable commitment to democracy,"  Hidalgo  said.

The city of Brussels was on Tuesday hit by three blasts, targeting the airport and a metro station, that left at least 31 people killed and 100 others injured, reports said.

Twin blasts hit Zaventem airport  which killed at least 11 people and injured 81 others, reports said.

The third blast occurred at Maelbeek metro station later which left at least 20 dead.
