Sixteen people were killed and over 100 injured in a series of attacks across Catalonia, Spain, on Thursday. The deadliest incident occurred in Barcelona's Las Ramblas district, where a van ploughed through crowds, killing 14, including two children. A Spanish man was later found stabbed to death in a hijacked car linked to the van attacker. In Cambrils, a woman was killed when attackers drove a car into tourists.
The victims came from 34 countries. Among the dead were two Argentinians: Silvina Alejandra Pereyra, 40, who held dual citizenship and lived in Barcelona, and Carmen Lopardo, 80, an Italian-born Argentine on holiday. Belgian postal worker Elke Vanbockrijck, 44, was also killed. Canadian Ian Moore Wilson, whose wife Valerie was injured, was identified by their daughter.
Italian victims included Bruno Gulotta, a father of two who saved his son, and 25-year-old Luca Russo. Portugal confirmed two deaths: a 74-year-old woman and her 20-year-old granddaughter. Spanish victims Francisco López Rodríguez, 57, and his three-year-old grand-nephew died; 75-year-old Pepita Codina also perished. In Cambrils, 61-year-old Ana María Suárez was killed.
Other victims included Pau Pérez, 34, found stabbed in a car; US citizen Jared Tucker, 43, on honeymoon; and seven-year-old Julian Alessandro Cadman, an Australian-British dual national. As of 27 August, 24 people remained hospitalised, five critically.
