At least 18 people were reported dead Friday night in Paris, after separate shootings and bombing took place.

AFP reported that a hostage situation took place at Paris Bataclan concert hall, while an explosion occurred near Stade de France, where a match was being attended by President Francois Hollande.

Hollande was removed to safety after the explosions took place.

There is no clear evidence as to whether the two incidents are related. No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
