Spain attack: What do we know about the victims?

Tributes appeared at the scene, beside a sign reading: "Catalunya, place of peace"

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.

• The second Italian victim was named by Italian PM Paolo Gentiloni as 25-year-old Luca Russo. He was in Barcelona with his girlfriend, who was injured in the attack

"Italy will remember Bruno Gulotta and Luca Russo and expresses its solidarity with their families," the prime minister said in a tweet (in Italian). "Freedom will triumph over barbarism and terrorism."

Bruno Gulotta was one of the first victims to be named

Seven-year-old Julian Alessandro Cadman, an Australian with dual British citizenship, was confirmed killed several days after the attack took place. He was initially reported missing after he was separated from his mother, who was seriously injured in the attack.

His grandfather, Tony Cadman, made a public appeal after Julian went missing, urging people to share his photograph on social media.

UK Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson offered his sympathies to Julian's family and said: "His death is a tragedy."
