Twenty-two people have been killed and more than 50 injured in an explosion at the end of a concert by US singer Ariana Grande at Manchester Arena Monday night.

Police have confirmed children are among the 22 people who were killed.

According to Manchester police, the attacker died in the blast.

Police are investigating whether he acted alone or was part of a network, the BBC reported.
