Several Germans wounded in Brussels bomb attacks
Several Germans were among the injured in the Brussels bombings on Tuesday, the Foreign Ministry has said.
The Foreign Ministry added that it cannot rule out the possibility that some German citizens may be among the dead.
At least one German man suffered serious injuries in the blasts, which hit the Belgian capital's airport and metro system early on Tuesday morning.
So far 31 people have been confirmed killed and around 260 injured by the two bomb explosions at the airport and one in a metro train.
Belgian-born Brahim Al-Bakraoui is believed to have carried out the airport attack shortly after 8 am, along with an unknown second bomber.
A third man pictured in security footage from the airport has yet to be identified or caught, contrary to media reports on Wednesday morning.
