Emmanuel Macron has vowed to step up military presence across France following a deadly attack at a church in Nice.

The country was rocked by a string of attacks on Thursday, with a woman beheaded and two others killed in Nice and a far-right gunman shot in Avignon.

A guard was also injured at the French consulate in Saudi Arabia.

Three people were killed in an attack on the Basilica of Notre-Dame in Nice, all of whom had their throats cut, a police spokesperson told The Independent, adding another person was left injured. One female victim was beheaded, according to a police source.

Mr Macron declared that France had been subject to an Islamist terrorist attack and said he would deploy thousands more soldiers to protect French sites, such as places of worship and schools.

After the Nice attack, the prime minister raised France’s security alert to its highest level.
