Sixteen people have been killed and dozens more injured in a series of attacks across Spain's Catalonia region.

Fourteen people, including two children, were killed when a vehicle drove through crowds in Barcelona's busy Las Ramblas district on Thursday. The area's popularity with tourists means the victims came from many different countries.

Soon afterwards a Spanish man was found stabbed to death inside a car thought to have been hijacked by the Ramblas van attacker.

Hours later a woman was killed by the attackers who ploughed a car into tourists in the resort town of Cambrils, further down the coast.

More than 100 other people from 34 different countries were injured in the attacks and, as of 27 August, 24 people were still receiving treatment in hospital, five of them in a critical condition.

Argentina's foreign ministry said two of its citizens had died:

40-year-old Silvina Alejandra Pereyra died in the Barcelona attack. She held dual Argentine-Spanish citizenship and had lived in Barcelona for several years

Carmen Lopardo, aged 80, was born in Italy but emigrated to Argentina as a young woman. She was in Barcelona on holiday

A woman from Belgium was among the first to be confirmed dead. Elke Vanbockrijck, 44, was a postal worker from the town of Tongeren who was on holiday with her husband and two sons.
