Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said despite Nice attack, fight against terrorists continues.
Paris:
France's defence minister said today that French air forces conducted further strikes overnight on ISIS targets.
Speaking after national defence council meeting in the wake of last week's truck attack on the city of Nice, Jean-Yves Le Drian told reporters the fight against terrorists bases was continuing.
Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, addressing reporters alongside Le Drian, said internal security was being boosted with a call-up of reservists in France that would put about 3,000 additional police on patrol over the summer period, at beaches and summer festival sites in particular.
There was however "no zero risk", he said, stressing that France had never before faced a terrorist threat of such a high level.
