In few minutes we are going to make several controlled explosions in #Cambrils. If you hear detonations DO NOT be alarmed, are controlled!

Spanish outlet Cadena Ser has reported that the Cambrils attackers also attempted a van ramming attack in the town square, but the van overturned and the occupants were shot by police.
The incident comes just hours after Thursday's van ramming attack in Barcelona's city square that left 13 dead.
According to the Catalan police, the situation in Cambrils is now under control.
