Yesterday (14 July), the city of Nice, France, was attacked by a truck loaded with weapons, which drove through the crowd celebrating Bastille Day.
President Hollande of France said the attacks were of a “terrorist nature”.
In the wake of the latest shocking terror threat in France, the British government has instructed Brits in France to follow the French authorities instructions.
The Foreign Office said in a statement: “We are in touch with the local authorities and seeking more information following an apparent attack on Bastille Day celebration in Nice.
“If you are in the area follow the instructions of the French authorities who are at present advising people to stay indoors at this time.”
