A boy with dual British nationality is missing after the Barcelona terror attack and other UK nationals are believed to have been caught up, the Government has said.
Prime Minister Theresa May made a statement on Friday afternoon, saying: "Sadly, I must tell you that we do believe that a number of British nationals were caught up in the attack.
"We’re urgently looking into reports of a child believed missing, who is a British dual national.
"The Foreign Office is offering consular assistance to those who were involved in the attack and their families, and are working urgently to see if there are others who need their help."
The boy is believed to be Julian Cadman, from Sydney, who previously lived in the UK. He was out with his mother when the attack happened. She was injured in the attack.
Fourteen people have so far been confirmed dead in two terror attacks in Spanish tourist hot spots and over 130 have been injured.
Thirteen people were killed in Barcelona yesterday afternoon when a van was driven at people along Las Ramblas and one woman died in Cambrils when a car was driven at people in the popular tourist resort.
ABTA said it is not aware of disruption to flight services out of the UK as a result of the terror attacks, but said people imminently due to travel to Barcelona or Costa Dorada should monitor Foreign Office advice and check the status of their flight with their airline or travel provider.
