At least 22 people dead and 59 injured in a suicide bomb attack at Ariana Grande Concert in Manchester Arena.
Greater Manchester police have confirmed children among the victims of the attack carried out by a man with an explosive device
The horror unfolded at about 10.30pm on Monday at the end of a concert by the American singer Ariana Grande, whose music is popular with children and teenagers.
The attack, which took place in the foyer area of the arena, left hundreds of people fleeing in terror, with young people at the concert separated from their parents in the chaos. It left carnage inside the concert venue, with medics describing treating wounds consistent with shrapnel injury.
One witness said he could see nuts and bolts strewn on the floor of the foyer after the attack, which could suggest a nail bomb was involved.
British PM Theresa May,who faces an election in two and a half weeks, said her thoughts were with the victims and their families.
“We are working to establish the full details of what is being treated by the police as an appalling terrorist attack,” she said in a statement. “All our thoughts are with the victims and the families of those who have been affected.”
