On the morning of 22 March 2016, three explosions occurred in Belgium: two at Brussels main airport in Zaventem and one at Maelbeek metro station in the centre of Brussels. In these attacks, 31 people were killed and 230 others were injured, resulting in three days of national mourning in Belgium.
An assault rifle and a third bomb were found in a search of the airport. The Islamic State are said to have claimed responsibility for the attacks.[1]
It was the deadliest act of terrorism on Belgian soil and came four months after the Mass murder in Paris.[2]
