A ‘’huge explosion” has been reported on the Paris metro, on Wednesday night, leading to dozens of passengers being evacuated from a station. As many as eight passengers are believed to have been injured in the explosion, either in apparent blast or from smoke inhalation. This accident, on Line 6 in or near to the Place d’Italie subway stop has raised fresh terror fears as France remains on high alert. A large number of armed police are at the scene around the Place d’Italie as the situation is investigated. France has been living in fear of a fresh attack by jihadis, as the Charlie Hebdo murders in Paris and the Nice lorry massacre, but this night’s explosion was not currently thought to be terror-related. Early report suggest the explosion was caused by electrical fire.
