People Flee in Fear as a Terrorist Attack is Launched in a Tourist Resort in Manila, Philippines

DOZENS of tourists have been injured – with fears Brits are among those hurt – after gunshots and explosions were heard outside a resort in the capital of the Philippines.



The shooting took place at Resorts World Manila in Pasay City around midnight local time.




Footage posted on social media shows crowds of hotel guests running from the resort as gunshots were fired.



Another video shows casualties being rushed to hospital following the suspected terror attack.



While nobody has claimed responsibility for the attack, Philippine authorities have been fighting ISIS in parts of the country.



Fire, police and SWAT teams surrounded the resort where gunfire and blasts could be heard.



One employee heard five shots fired on the casino’s third floor before the building was evacuated, GMA News reported.



Resorts World Manila is situated opposite the Ninoy Aquino International Airport - one of the busiest airport terminal in the country.
