Attack near Moscow: France declares highest security alert. France is raising its warning level, Prime Minister Attal announced.
Accordingly, an attack is imminent. The decision was made "in view of the fact that the "Islamic State" claimed responsibility for the attack (to Moscow) and in view of threats that our country is exposed to," explained Attal in an online message to the public. The highest alert level is declared in France when it is assumed that there is an imminent threat of an attack.
