19 people are confirmed dead, and 50 others were injured following a major explosion at UK's Manchester Arena. 

So far police have yet to confirm the cause of the blast, which occurred at the end of Ariana Grande's concert there. 

But for now, they are treating it as a terrorist incident. 

Many of those attending the concert were reportedly children and teenagers who were separated from their parents.

Meanwhile, authorities have conducted a controlled explosion on another explosive device, that was found at the nearby Cathedral Gardens. 

And a spokesperson for Grande says the American singer is 'okay'.
