19 people have been killed and 59 injured in a suspected terror attack at Manchester Arena, reports BBC.

The blast happened at 22:35 BST on Monday at the end of a pop concert by the US singer Ariana Grande.

Home Secretary Amber Rudd said it was "a barbaric attack, deliberately targeting some of the most vulnerable".

The explosion occurred shortly after Ariana Grande left the stage at the arena - the city's largest indoor venue with a concert capacity of around 21,000.

North West Ambulance Service said it had taken 59 casualties from the explosion to hospitals and treated a number of walking wounded, including for "shrapnel-like injuries".

Unconfirmed reports from two unnamed US officials suggested the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber.

Currently the Manchester police label the incident as a terror attack until proven otherwise, as reported by RIA Novosti.
