LONDON (AP) — The latest on the attack outside Britain's Parliament (all times local):

China says one of its citizens was among 40 people injured in the attack outside Britain's Parliament, and is urging Chinese nationals in the country to avoid crowded areas or traveling alone at night.

The Chinese Embassy in London said Thursday it was in touch with the family of the Chinese citizen injured in Wednesday's attack. Its statement did not provide further details.

Chinese President Xi Jinping condemned the attack, sent condolences to Queen Elizabeth II and extended his regards to the families of those killed and injured.

A knife-wielding man killed four people in the heart of Britain's seat of power Wednesday, plowing a car into pedestrians on London's Westminster Bridge before stabbing a police officer to death inside the gates of Parliament. Other officers fatally shot the attacker.

6 a.m.

South Korea's acting head of state has instructed the country's Foreign Ministry to help the five South Korean nationals injured in London during Wednesday's attack outside Parliament.

Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn, in meeting with Cabinet ministers on Thursday, said the government is focused on bringing the injured individuals home safely and protecting South Koreans living or traveling in London.

Hwang has been the government caretaker since South Korean lawmakers passed an impeachment motion against former President Park Geun-hye in December over a corruption scandal. The country's Constitutional Court formally removed Park from office earlier this month, triggering a presidential by-election that is set for May 9.

4:10 a.m.

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang says the attack outside the British Parliament in London was the first subject of discussion when he met with Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull of Australia on Thursday morning in Canberra.

Li says that "together, we send our condolences to the prime minister of the U.K. and together we condemn terrorism and we stand against all forms of terrorism."

The Chinese leader says that "there cannot be continued instability in the world," adding: "We must cherish peace and stability."
