The Premier has expressed Bermuda’s “profound” sympathy for the loss of life in Brussels this morning.

More than 30 people were reportedly killed and another 180 injured in the Belgian capital after terrorists targeted the Zaventem airport and Maelbeek metro station at about 8am.

“Bermuda joins with the rest of the world in expressing profound sympathy for the loss of life in Brussels earlier today,” Michael Dunkley, the Minister of National Security, said.

“The impact of these kinds of attacks is felt beyond the shores of the affected countries and, on behalf of the Government and people of Bermuda, our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those killed and injured as they confront the sad reality of these life-changing events.”
