BRUSSELS: The death toll from the March 22 attacks on Brussels’ airport and the metro system has risen to 31 and could climb further, the Belgian Crisis Centre said on Sunday.
It said 28 out of the 31 total victims had been formally identified — 15 at the airport and 13 at the Maalbeek metro station.
Experts were trying to identify the last three, with the results of DNA tests awaited, it said.
The three suicide bombers — two at the airport and one on the metro, were not included in the total.
“Please note — some victims who have died in different hospitals are not yet included in the figures,” it added.
The Crisis Centre earlier Sunday put the death toll at 28, with 24 formally identified.
