The driver of a van that mowed into a packed street in Barcelona, killing at least 16 people and injuring around 100 others, is still on the run, Spanish police said.

Catalan police say they have killed the perpetrators of a terrorist attack in Cambrils, south of Barcelona in Spain.

Earlier media reports said several attackers were shot dead in the shootout in the town.

The BBC has reported four attackers were shot dead.

It's not known if the Cambrils operation is linked to Thursday's deadly van attack in Barcelona that's killed 16 people and injured more than 100.

Catalan emergency services said on Twitter that people in Cambrils, which is on the coast, should "stay home, stay safe."
