Greater Manchester Police say 22 people have been confirmed dead in an explosion at Britain's Manchester Arena that is being treated as a possible terrorist attack.

There are also reports that at as many as 119 people were injured.

Police said the incident started at 10:35 Monday night at an Ariana Grande concert.

Emergency vehicles were on the scene helping the injured and bomb disposal units were later seen outside the venue.

There was mass panic after the explosion at the end of the concert, which was part of Grande's The Dangerous Woman Tour.

A representative of Grande's US record label says the singer is okay, and they are investigating what happened.

Police say they are working with national police and intelligence agencies in what is being treated as a terrorist incident.
