Newspapers in Spain and around the world have reacted in horror to events in Barcelona and elsewhere in Catalonia, where 13 civilians and five suspected terrorists were killed in separate incidents, and more than 100 were injured.

Many national broadsheets and tabloids focused on the attack in Barcelona’s Las Ramblas area, where a white van veered into pedestrians in the crowded tourist street just after 5pm on Thursday, killing 13 people.
