Brussels, Mar 22 (IBNS) At least one person was killed and several were injured in two explosions occurred in the departure hall of Brussels airport on Tuesday morning and several people were injured, media reports said.

The blasts took place four days after the arrest of a suspected participant in November militant attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.

Unconfirmed reports said several people were killed in the explosions.

The airport has been shut cancelling all flights.

Social media showed pictures of smoke rising from the departure hall where all windows had been shattered by the blast. Passengers were seen running away down a slipway from the departure lounge.

Sky News television's Alex Rossi, at the scene, said he heard two "very, very loud explosions".

On March 19, the prime surviving suspect for November's Paris attacks was shot in the leg and captured during a police raid in Brussels, ending an intensive four-month manhunt.
