BRUSSELS, Aug. 17 -- At least 13 people were reported dead and dozens others injured following a terrorist attack in Spanish city of Barcelona on Thursday afternoon, triggering severe condemnation from the European Union (EU) leaders.
"This cowardly attack has deliberately targeted those enjoying life and sharing time with family and friends. We will never be cowed by such barbarism," European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said in a statement.
"I send my deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of the victims, as well as to Prime Minister Rajoy and the people of Spain. My thoughts are with the people of Barcelona," he said, adding the Commission is "at the full disposal of the authorities for any help or assistance necessary".
Echoing Juncker, European Council President Donald Tusk tweeted:" All of Europe stands with Barcelona. Our thoughts are with the victims and all affected by this cowardly attack on innocents."
Meanwhile, Spain's deputy Prime Minister, Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, will travel to Barcelona on Thursday evening.
Local media reported that Saenz de Santamaria will meet with Enric Millo, the delegate of the Spanish executive in Catalonia, and his team in order to coordinate the tasks.
Millo is attending the crisis meeting being held at the regional government of Catalonia, Generalitat, along with representatives of Barcelona's city council, Generalitat, and central government.
