Spain terrorism toll rises to 14

A woman who was critically injured in a terror attack in the Spanish town of Cambrils has died, bringing the death toll from two separate attacks to 14.

Catalan authorities say a woman injured in a terrorist attack in a popular seaside town south of Barcelona has died.

The woman, who wasn't named, is the first fatal victim of the attack late on Thursday in Cambrils, about 130 kilometres south of Barcelona.

It came hours after a van slammed into pedestrians on a busy Barcelona promenade, killing 13 people and injuring 130, 17 of whom are in a critical condition.

In Cambrils, police shot dead five people wearing fake bomb belts who ploughed into a group of tourists and residents with a car. In all, six people, including a police officer, were injured in the Cambrils incident.
