The prefecture and law enforcement agencies are asking Parisians and visitors to be outside the quarter and not create obstacles for ambulances and equipmentarrived to eliminate the consequences of what happened. People living nearby are evacuated, for which helicopters are involved.

It is reported that the explosion thundered after the fire, while a team arrived to extinguish it. The bakery on the first floor is almost completely destroyed. Neighboring buildings, as well as cars parked nearby, are damaged.

The head of the French government, Edouard Philippe, and the Minister of the Interior, Christophe Castaner, arrived at the scene.

Earlier, on December 11 last year, in another French city - Strasbourg - the terrorist opened fire at the Christmas market, as a result of which there were dead and wounded. All this happens against the backdrop of mass protests against the French leadership.

So, today in the capital of France, a large-scale demonstration of "Yellow vests" is scheduled. Authorities deny that these events are somehow related. However, incidents of this kind do lead to increased police control.
