| One person was killed and at least seven injured in an explosion at a house in Catalonia which investigators are linking to the Barcelona attack, police said. | |
| The blast, which took place on Wednesday night in Alcanar, was reported to have hurt police officers and firefighters. | |
| It is believed the explosion was caused by butane gas. | |
| Around 20 bottles of it were reportedly found within the ruins of the house. | |
| Analysts said the amount of gas found in the house was too much for normal use, and possibly indicated plans for a further attack. | |
| Alcanar lies around 120 miles south from Barcelona. | |
