Deaths confirmed after Manchester Arena blast reports
A number of people have died and others have been injured following a reported explosion at Manchester Arena.
Witnesses said they heard two loud bangs, reported to in the foyer, after a pop concert by singer Ariana Grande.
Greater Manchester Police said there are a "number of confirmed fatalities and others injured".
The cause of the reported explosion is unknown but the North West Counter Terrorism Unit is treating it as a possible terrorist incident.
BBC Home Affairs Correspondent Daniel Sandford said senior counter-terrorism officers are assembling in London and are liaising with the Home Office.
He said early estimates put the number of fatalities in double figures, although these are not confirmed.
