A van crashed into pedestrians in Barcelona's city centre on Thursday, killing at least a dozen people and injuring more than 80 others in an attack claimed by the Islamic State group.
Police in Barcelona said a white van jumped a sidewalk before ploughing into a crowd in the city's busy Las Ramblas district. At least 12 people were killed and more than 80 others were injured, a Catalan interior ministry official said.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the attack via its Amaq propaganda outlet. Catalan police have confirmed the arrest of one suspect.
Catalan emergency services said people should avoid the area around Placa Catalunya, the city's main square, which connects to Las Ramblas.
