No Indian casualty has been reported in the terror attacks in Paris that killed at least 127 people and injured nearly 200 others, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said on Saturday.

“I have spoken to Indian Ambassador in France. He has informed me that all Indians are safe. France has advised citizens to stay indoors,” Ms. Swaraj tweeted.

Earlier, Manish Prabhat, Indian Deputy Chief of Mission in Paris had said that “So far, no casualty of any Indian has been reported as per the information available with us. We released a helpline number following the information of attacks and throughout the night have received calls, but no incident involving an Indian has been reported.

“We are trying to reach out to the Indian community members here also using the social media and are advising them to further reach out in their circles for any information,” he added.
