Barcelona terror attack

🌎(CNN) On Thursday afternoon, a van rammed into a crowd of people in Barcelona, killing 13 people and injuring at least 100.
It's the worst attack on Spanish soil since the 2004 Madrid bombings, which killed 191 people and injured more than 1,800.
The deadly assault was followed hours later by a second possible terror attack in Cambrils, south of Barcelona, where police shot dead five suspected terrorists.
As police search for answers, here's what we know so far.

Around 5 p.m. local time (11 a.m. ET), reports of the incident emerged on social media. A white van with blue markings accelerated into scores of people enjoying a late afternoon stroll on Las Ramblas, a predominantly pedestrian zone in the heart of the Catalan capital.

By Thursday evening, Catalan Minister of the Interior Joaquim Forn said 13 people had died. At least 100 people were injured, with 15 of them in serious condition.
Local officials have said the number of dead is "bound to rise."

The victims came from at least 24 countries, the Catalonia government said in a statement Friday.
