Cities across the world used their landmarks to pay respect to those killed in a deadly van attack in one of Barcelona鈥檚 busiest districts on Thursday.
In some cases, global landmarks were lit up in red and yellow, the colours of the Spanish flag. Others, such as the Eiffel Tower, went completely dark.
At least 13 people were killed and 80 wounded after a white van leapt onto a sidewalk and plowed into pedestrians in Las Ramblas, one of the city鈥檚 top tourist destinations. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The victims were honoured in public displays across the globe, from New York City to Tel Aviv to Toronto.
Tonight, from 12:45 am, I will turn my lights off to pay tribute to the victims of the Barcelona attack.
