A series of coordinated attacks in Paris tonight, near the Stade de France, have claimed the lives of at least 39 people in an ongoing situation.

The stadium had been host to a football match between France and Germany, and was full at the time of the attacks. 

The below footage - although unverified - appears to show the sound of an explosion ringing around the Stade de France during the game.

In the wake of the news breaking, there was a general sense of confusion as some fans took to the pitch after the game ended, as police and security began to funnel people out through a restricted number of gates.

As it became clear that lives had been lost in the attacks, the following footage appears to show fans singing the national anthem together as they're lead to the exits in a gesture of solidarity.
