As it happened: Van ploughs into Barcelona pedestrians, 13 killed

At least 13 people are dead and dozens are injured after a van mounted the kerb and ploughed into pedestrians in Barcelona's popular Las Ramblas tourist strip, in an incident which is being treated as a terrorist attack.

Police believe they have foiled a second attempted terrorist attack in the city of Cambrils, shooting dead several suspects after they reportedly attempted to drive a van onto a pedestrian area before it overturned.

A Sydney woman is in serious condition in a Barcelona hospital, with her seven-year-old son missing after the two were separated during the attack.

Look back at how the attack unfolded.
