No Chinese national is reportedly killed or injured so far during Paris attacks that took place Friday night in Paris and its suburbs, Chinese Embassy in France confirmed to Xinhua on Saturday.

Ten months after Paris deadly attacks in January that left dozens of deaths, calm was broken once again on Friday night in the French capital where explosions and a series of shootings caused at least 128 deaths, 250 injured with 99 in very critical conditions.

"It's an act of war committed by a terrorist army, Daech (Islamic State), a jihadist army," French President Francois Hollande announced Saturday morning in a brief TV declaration.

Islamic State also claimed Saturday morning responsibility for the three explosions and six shootings in a statement issued online.

Till now, no official death toll has been announced yet.
