After the attack on a concert hall near Moscow that left more than 130 dead, the French government declared the highest security alert level in its country. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal announced this on Sunday evening in the online service X. In addition to the attack near Moscow, he also referred to “threats that our country is exposed to” as justification.

The highest alert level is declared in France when it is assumed that there is an imminent threat of an attack. The decision was made “in view of the fact that the Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack (to Moscow) and in view of the threats that our country is exposed to,” explained Attal.
