“The traffic is currently stopped at the center of Barcelona,” an Armenian citizen living in Barcelona for many years, told Panorama.am.
Ruzanna Galoyan, who lives 50 kms away from the street in the Spanish city Barcelona targeted by the terror attack, said that the local police have shut down all the streets, with subway and bus avoiding stops in that area of the city.
“At present, the shops have reopened: we have been called to work,” Ms. Ruzanna added.
Citing the local media, Ruzanna Galoyan informed that the 23 people wounded in the terror attack are in critical condition.
“Last night, at 01:00 a.m., another terror attack was committed in Cambrils town: there are no victims, only several people were wounded. The police killed the five attackers. I do not know what comes next for us,” she said.
No Armenian nationals have been identified among the casualties of the Barcelona terror attack, according to the initial data of the Armenian Embassy to Spain.
To note, a second terror attack has taken place in Cambrils, a coastal town around 120km from Barcelona. Six bystanders and one police officer were injured – two seriously – when they were reportedly deliberately hit by a car, the Guardian reports.
Authorities say the attack is linked to the terrorist assault on Barcelona earlier on Thursday, when a man drove a van into pedestrians in Las Ramblas, killing 13 people and injuring 100 more.
