Bomb threats have been reported on two passenger jets bound for Brussels Airport.

The alerts were radioed in from the aircraft to air traffic control.

It is currently unclear which air carrier firms are involved, but dozens of passengers are believed to be on the two planes.

National broadcaster quoted the Belgian prosecutor as saying: "The threat is serious enough to take action."

One aircraft, from Oslo, Norway, has landed safely at the airport and the pilot is believed to have received the threat around 20 minutes from landing.

The second plane - from Stockholm, Sweden - landed at the airport around 10 minutes later and all passengers have been safely evacuated.

The airport was the scene of a double ISIS suicide bomb attack in March.

Other flights have been re-routed to other air hubs following the reported bomb threats.

It comes just days after ISIS claimed responsibility for a terror attack in which a man shouting 'Allahu Akbar' injured two female police officers with a machete in Belgium.

The machete-wielding terrorist walked up to the main police station in Charleroi and knifed the women just before 4pm on Saturday afternoon.

ISIS today confirmed that the assailant was a "soldier of the Islamic State".

A message released by the terror organisation's official media outlet, Amaq news Agency, said: "The executor of the attack in Charleroi, Belgium, was a soldier of the Islamic state and carried out the operation in response to calls to target citizens of countries belonging to the crusader coalition."

It came as prosecutors revealed the attacker was a 33-year-old Algerian, identified as K.B, who was known to authorities but not for terrorism.

They said that the man, who has lived in Belgium since 2012, may have been inspired by terrorism.

Belgium is on a state of high alert following a wave of terrorist strikes across Europe in the past 12 months.
