Terror attacks in Spain: What we know so far

Police in Barcelona in the aftermath of the attack

- The first attack began shortly after 5pm local time (4pm BST), when a white Fiat van sped through Las Ramblas, a busy street in Barcelona.

- At least 13 people were killed and more than 100 were injured as the driver ploughed into people along a 500 metre stretch of the pedestrianised area.

- The driver then fled, leaving a scene of widespread panic, with crowds running in waves away from the area.

- Citizens of 24 countries were among those killed and injured in Barcelona including one Belgian national confirmed to have died.

- The French foreign ministry said 26 French nationals were injured, including 11 seriously.

- Police made two arrests in connection with the incident, including Driss Oukabir, a 28-year-old Moroccan who is believed to have rented the van.

- But the driver is believed to be still on the run.

- Eight hours later terrorists strike again, this time in Cambrils, a coastal town and resort 68 miles down the coast from Barcelona.

- In the second attack, a gang wearing suicide belts rammed civilians with a car before being shot dead by police.

- Seven people including a police officer were injured in Cambrils.

- Four of the attackers were shot dead at the scene and a fifth died later of his injuries.

- Of the six civilians caught up in the Cambrils attack, two were said to be in a serious condition.

- Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the Barcelona attack, the deadliest in Spain since more than 190 people died in the 2004 Madrid train bombs.
