Nineteen people have been confirmed killed and more than 50 were injured in a suspected terror attack at Manchester Arena in the United Kingdom on Monday.
The blast happened at 22:35 BST on Monday, following a pop concert by the US singer Ariana Grande.
Paramedics at the scene told the BBC they had treated some of the wounded for “shrapnel-like injuries”.
North West Ambulance Service said it had taken 59 casualties from the explosion to hospitals and treated a number of walking wounded.
Prime Minister Theresa May, in her first comments said: “We are working to establish the full details” of what happened in Manchester.
“All our thoughts are with the victims and the families of those who have been affected,” Mrs May said.
According to the BBC, unconfirmed reports from two unnamed US officials suggested the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber.
The arena explosion occurred shortly after Ariana Grande left the stage at the arena.
Grande – a 23-year-old American TV teen actress-turned-pop star – has a strong following among teenage girls and children.
Following the bombing, she tweeted: “broken from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don’t have words
