Fourteen people were killed and 130 injured when a van drove into crowds on Barcelona's Las Ramblas boulevard and a car ploughed into pedestrians in the coastal town of Cambrils.

Here is how the worst terror attack in Spain for more than a decade unfolded.

The first reports emerge about a white van crashing into a crowd of people in the centre of Barcelona.

Police quickly confirm there has been a "massive crash" and say several people have been hurt in the tourist hot spot, which was packed with families and holidaymakers.

Emergency services tell people to avoid the area and metro and train stations are shut down.

Police confirmed a while van mounted the pavement and struck several people.

A police source cited in local media says the driver fled on foot after intentionally crashing into pedestrians.

Claims circulate that two armed men have entered a restaurant and are "holed up" there, potentially with hostages.

Police confirm they are treating the crash as a terrorist attack, as reports quickly emerge that there are at least a dozen fatalities from the attack.

Police release a photograph of the first suspect, who is later named as Driss Oukabir. He is suspected of having rented the van used in the attack.

Police confirm a second van has been found in the town of Vic in connection with the attack in Barcelona, with reports saying it was used as a getaway vehicle.

Catalan police confirm a man has been arrested and is being "treated like a terrorist" and dispel reports there is anybody holed up inside a bar.

Police confirm a driver ran over two officers at a checkpoint in St Just Desvern, on the west side of Barcelona, in an incident that has not been ruled out as being connected to the Las Ramblas attack.

Local paper La Vanguardia report a suspect was shot dead in an exchange of gunfire with police after the incident.

Islamic State issues a statement claiming it carried out the Barcelona attack, saying: "The perpetrators of the Barcelona attack are soldiers of the Islamic State and carried out the operation in response to calls for targeting coalition states."

Local media report Driss Oukabir has handed himself in to police after seeing his photo in the media.

He claims identity documents found in the van, which was hired in his name, had been stolen by his younger brother Moussa.

Police say the two men arrested are connected to the incident but neither of them was the driver.

One of the two men arrested is Moroccan (Oukabir) and the other is from the Spanish enclave of Melilla in North Africa. They were arrested in two different towns in Catalonia, Ripoll and Alcanar.

Separately, police say the Barcelona attack appears to be linked to an explosion at a house in Alcanar early on Thursday in which one person died and another was injured.

Seven people are reported injured when a group said to be wearing "explosive belts"

Footage on social media shows people running for cover and several gunshots can be heard.

Spanish police shoot four of the suspected terrorists dead, while a fifth suspect who was injured dies hours later.

Police arrest a third person in Ripoll and say the belts worn by the five men shot dead in Cambrils were "simulated explosives".

Catalonia's regional president says there is at least one "terrorist still out there".

Carles Puigdemont tells Onda Cero radio that "we don't have information regarding the capacity to do more harm".

State news agency EFE says police are , who they believe is the driver of the van used in the Las Ramblas attack.

A woman critically injured in the Cambrils attack dies, bringing the death toll from the two attacks to 14.

Meanwhile, the Foreign Office confirms a "small number" of Britons have been injured.

The number of wounded is also revised upwards by the emergency services and now stands at 130.

Citizens from more than 30 countries have been killed or hurt in the atrocities.

Police reveal a fourth person has been arrested over the attacks, but do not provide further details.

Prime Minister Theresa May says British authorities are

"We do believe that a number of British nationals were caught up in the attack, and we are urgently looking into reports of a child believed missing who is a British dual national," she said.

In their latest update, police say the two attacks were being prepared "for some time" in the town of Alcanar.

One of the five terrorists shot dead in Cambrils could have been the driver of the van on Las Ramblas.
