The explosive devices are understood to have been detonated at the American Airlines check-in desk at Brussels Airport with several confirmed dead
Two explosions have been detonated at Brussels airport, with passengers fleeing the terminal and several confirmed dead.
Reports suggested explosive devices were detonated near to the American
Airlines check-in desk.
The airport is said to be on "lock down" with all flights cancelled and rail traffic towards the Belgian airport suspended.
It is feared that 11 have died and 20 are injured, but these reports have not been confirmed.
A spokesman for the airport has urged people to not come near the area.
Brussels Airport's Twitter account told followers: "There have been 2 explosions at the airport.
"Building is being evacuated. Don't come to the airport area."
The Twitter account added: "Don't come to the airport - airport is being evacuated. Avoid the airport area. Flights have been cancelled."
A Belgian news agency is reporting that shots were fired and words in Arabic were heard being shouted before the blasts.
Hundreds of people can be seen in a video fleeing the airport, as smoke billows from the building.
Sky News Middle East correspondent Alex Rossi, who was at the airport en route for Tel Aviv, told the channel: "I could feel the buildings move."
Mr Rossi told Sky News people were "dazed and shocked".
"The word is definitely two explosions.
"The thinking here by everybody is that it is some kind of terrorist attack although that hasn't been verified by anyone here at the airport.
"No word too of casualties. Don't know how the explosion took place, the method if you like. But it certainly seems Brussels airport has been targeted in a terrorist attack.
"We are all being moved out of the airport now towards the emergency exit. There is a great deal of confusion here. Certainly there are a number of very upset, as you might imagine, very frightened people."
He added: "There are fears that there might be other attackers."
Military officers have been deployed on the streets surrounding the airport.
Salah Abdeslam, a suspected as a planner in the Paris terror attacks that killed 130 people last November, was arrested on Friday after a four-month manhunt, in the same neighbourhood in Brussels where he grew up.
But the Belgian authorities fear he had accomplices while on the run who are still at large and could pose a threat.
Belgian prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw told reporters at a news conference in Brussels on Monday: "[It's clear] we have a general threat."
Mr Van Leeuw said investigators hope to find out the details of Abdeslam's actions between the November 13 attacks and his arrest, "if he decides to tell us".
Abdeslam, 26, a French citizen who grew up in Brussels' Molenbeek neighbourhood, slipped through police fingers on several occasions, including the day after the attacks.
He was interviewed three times on Saturday, the day after his capture - once by prosecutors and twice by an investigating judge - and "wasn't in great shape" because he had been shot in the leg by police during his capture, Mr Van Leeuw said.
Belgian prosecutors appealed to the public on Monday for information about a man who allegedly travelled to Hungary last year with the top suspect in the Paris attacks.
The federal prosecutor's office said in a statement they are seeking details about 24-year-old Najim Laachraoui, who is said to have travelled to Syria in February 2013. It said Laachraoui was checked by guards at the Austria-Hungary border while driving in a Mercedes with Abdeslam and one other person.
