A series of violent incidents took place in Paris in the evening of 13 November 2015. The attacks commenced at 21:16 (CET), and were concentrated in the 1st, 10th, and 11th arrondissements, while a near-simultaneous attack took place at the Stade de France in the northern suburb of Saint-Denis. At least three separate explosions and six shootings were reported around the capital, together with a hostage situation at the Bataclan theatre.

The number of casualties is unknown, but at least 150 people are reported to have died, including about 120 at the theatre. French police reported that two suicide bombers were potentially involved in the attacks.

In a televised statement at 23:58 CET, French President François Hollande declared a state of emergency and closed the borders for all of France.

Individual attacks

There were seven different attacks; at least six shootings and three explosions. Shootings were reported around the Rue de la Fontaine-au-Roi, Rue de Charonne, and Rue Bataclan.

Petit Cambodge and Le Carillon shooting

A shooting at the Petit Cambodge ("Little Cambodia") restaurant in the 10th arrondissement of Paris killed four people. The assailants also shot people outside a bar called Le Carillon near the Canal Saint-Martin. According to the Associated Press who quoted a police official, 11 people were killed at the restaurant.

Bataclan theatre siege

The Bataclan theatre in 2008

Shootings and hostage takings occurred at the Bataclan theatre in the 11th arrondissement of Paris where the American rock band Eagles of Death Metal were playing. Jesse Hughes, the band's frontman, escaped via the backstage. Between 60 and 100 hostages were taken. Someone who escaped the attack told a journalist that the attackers mentioned Syria and that there were five or six attackers. There were further attacks reported on police and first responders who arrived at the scene after initial reports of shooting inside the theatre. One of the attackers at the Bataclan had explosives, according to a police officer at the scene. Julien Pierce, a journalist from Europe 1, says that he saw armed men enter the Bataclan, saying that there were two or three not wearing masks who came in and fired blindly on the crowd. A police raid later took place at the Bataclan, resulting in the death of two or three attackers and cessation of the hostage situation. It was completed at 0:58 CET. The police reported that approximately 100 people had been killed at the theatre.

Stade de France explosion

At least 10 people were injured or killed in an explosion at a bar near the Stade de France in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis. The President of France, François Hollande, was at the Stade de France attending an international friendly football match between France and Germany. Hollande was safely evacuated from the scene and met with the French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve to coordinate a response to the emergency. The match was being broadcast on live television. Following the game, fans were brought onto the pitch to await evacuation as police monitored all exits from the venue.

Forum des Halles shopping mall explosion and shooting

A shooting and bombing was reported at the Forum des Halles shopping mall in central Paris.

Government response

French President François Hollande issued a statement, saying the French people must remain strong in the face of terrorism. The authorities urged residents of Paris to stay indoors for their own safety.

In response to the attacks, France was put under a state of emergency, its borders were closed for the first time since World War II, and the army was called in to maintain order in Paris. Plan multi-attentats (global), plan blanc (Île de France), and plan rouge (global), three French emergency plans for times of contingency, were immediately activated.

Flights to and from Charles de Gaulle Airport and Paris Orly Airport were restricted immediately following the attacks. All public schools and universities will remain closed on 14 November.

Hollande cancelled his trip to the 2015 G-20 Antalya summit because of the attacks, instead sending Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and Finance Minister Michel Sapin as his representatives.

International response

Belgium tightened security along its border with France, with increased spot checks of people arriving from France.
