Ten Years Since the Brussels Terrorist Attacks

Belgium commemorated the victims of the terrorist attacks that took place ten years ago, on March 22, 2016, in Brussels. The attacks, claimed by the Islamic State, resulted in 32 deaths and over 300 injuries. King Philippe stated that the country will never forget these attacks, emphasizing that it did not succumb to fear or division. Memorial ceremonies were held at Zaventem Airport and Maalbeek metro station, where the attacks occurred. Survivors shared their harrowing experiences. The threat level in Belgium remains 'serious' following a recent attack in Brussels in October 2023.
