At least three people have died and several others were injured in a knife attack inside the Notre-Dame Basilica in Nice, France.

A woman has been decapitated, and two others have been killed, during a knife attack inside the Notre Dame Basilica church in the French city of Nice.

The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, tweeted that the incident is a “terrorist” attack.

Here’s what we know so far:

At least three people, two women and a man, have been killed, including one woman who was decapitated. The man is reportedly the sexton of the church.
Nice mayor Christian Estrosi said it was a terrorist attack, and that the “Islamo-fascist” assailant “didn’t stop shouting Allahu Akhbar even under medication” after being shot and arrested.
The police believe the attacker, who has been named as ‘Brahim’, was acting alone.
