At least 140 people are reported to have been killed and dozens more injured during a series of attacks across Paris.

The two attackers were killed in a police operation to rescue the hostages at the Bataclan theatre, according to French media.

Gunmen reportedly shouted "It's for Syria" and "Allah Akbar" inside the venue.

The rock band Eagles of Death Metal were performing a sold-out concert at the theatre.

It is unclear whether the bandmates – who include Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age – are among the hostages.

An unverified Facebook post said: "There are still survivors inside the Bataclan. They're killing everyone one-by-one."

A spokesman for the band said: "We are still currently trying to determine the safety and whereabouts of all our band and crew.

"Our thoughts are with all of the people involved in this tragic situation."

Automatic gunfire was heard outside the theatre where the hostages are being held.

Images on social media showed two men who were ushered away from the theatre with blood clearly visible on their shirts.
