A Russian national was injured in a van attack in Spain’s Cambrils, not in a similar incident as previously reported, the Russian embassy in Spain said Friday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Russia's federal tourism agency told Sputnik earlier in the day that a female Russian citizen had been injured in the deadly car ramming in Barcelona on Thursday. Hours after the tragedy in Barcelona, another vehicle attack took place in the Catalan coastal town of Cambrils. Six civilians and a police officer were injured

"According to the official information, there are no killed or injured Russian nationals in Barcelona. There is information of a Russian national who was injured during a terrorist attack in the city of Cambrils," the embassy said on Facebook.

Spaniards Still in Deep Shock, Afraid Following Two Terror Attacks in Catalonia
The terrorist attacks in Catalonia are the third vehicle attack on civilians to occur in Europe over the past 13 months.

In July 14, 2016 terrorists killed 87 people, including the perpetrator, after the assailant drove a 19-ton cargo truck into crowds watching Bastille Day fireworks. In December of last year, another terrorist struck civilians at a Christmas market in Berlin, slaying 12 people.

The three attacks combined, which all shared a common method, have resulted in the deaths of 111 people, with many more sustaining injuries.
