      An explosion at the Manchester Arena is being treated as a terrorist incident until police can determine otherwise.

      According to the Greater Manchester police, there are 19 confirmed deaths and around 50 injuries.

      It occurred around 10:35 p.m., Manchester time, at an Ariana Grande concert.

      Grande was not among those injured, according to her management.

      People searching for loved ones have been posting photos on social media.

      Transportation around the arena has been disrupted as a result of the explosion.

      Manchester residents living close to the arena have been using the hashtag #roomformanchester to invite concertgoers who can't make it home to spend the evening in their homes.
