Saint Denis raid continues, three suspected militants killed
A woman who detonated a suicide bomb as gunfire and explosions kept rocking the Paris suburbs for the past few hours.
Local media reports said, two suspected terrorists are believed to be inside the building.
Five people have been arrested so far.
The target of the raid was Islamic State militant Abedelhamid Abaaoud, who was initially thought to have masterminded the Paris attacks from Syria.
The operation came five days after the deadly terror attacks in Paris that killed 129 people.
The area was closed down and intermittent gunfire could still be heard.
French police officials have asked local residents not to leave their homes.
