Daesh was responsible for Tuesday's deadly attacks in Brussels that killed about 35 people, an online news agency affiliated with the militants said.
"Daesh fighters carried out a series of bombings with explosive belts and devices on Tuesday, targeting an airport and a central metro station in the centre of the Belgian capital Brussels, a country participating in the international coalition against Daesh," the Aamaq news agency said.
At least 35 people lost their lives as two explosions occurred in the departure hall of Brussels airport on Tuesday morning.The blasts also injured many, Belgian media said. The blasts occurred four days after the arrest in Brussels of a suspected participant in November militant attacks in Paris that killed 130 people. Belgian police had been on alert for any reprisal action.
The last flight landed at Brussels airport 8:22 local time. The airport will remained closed until Wednesday, @Flightradar24 said in a tweet.

Brussels passenger: Full elevator saved my life
Passenger Cedric Vanderswalm says a late train and a full elevator at Brussels airport probably saved his life.
The 20-year-old from the coastal Belgian town of Knokke was at the Brussels airport on Tuesday planning to fly to London for his job as an animator.
He says was heading to the airport's departures level but the elevator was full "so I didn't get in. I waited and I was about to step into the elevator when there was a big explosion." He says people started running, dropping their luggage.
He says "if I had taken the previous elevator, I would have been right in the explosion. My train also had a 5 minute delay, so I was lucky."
The explosion coated the left side of his face with soot and dust.

Witnesses describe blood, dust and chaos in Brussels attacks
More than two dozen people were killed Tuesday when bombs exploded in Belgium's capital - two at the main international airport and one on a downtown subway train near European Union headquarters. Witnesses described chaotic scenes of blood, dust and flying glass as the blasts hit transport hubs in the middle of a busy rush hour. Here are some of their accounts:
Entrepreneur Marc Noel, 63, was awaiting a Delta Airlines flight from Brussels to Atlanta when he decided to buy some automobile magazines for the flight - an act he thinks may have saved his life.
He was in an airport shop when the first explosion struck about 50 yards (meters) away, bringing down a chunk of the ceiling.
"People were crying, shouting, children. It was a horrible experience," said Noel, a Belgian who lives in Raleigh, North Carolina. "I don't want to think about it, but I would probably have been in that place when the bomb went off."
He said a second blast hit 10 to 15 seconds later.
"This feel likes war - fire engines, police everywhere," said Noel, as he and hundreds of other passengers toting their hand luggage were evacuated to the town of Zavantem.
"I was as close as I could be to the other side," he told the AP. "It hasn't happened yet. I guess it's not my hour."
