Storming of industrial park begins

Police have begun storming the industrial park where two brothers suspected of carrying out the Charlie Hebdo massacre had been holed up.

Shots have been heard to ring out, and smoke has been seen rising from the site, near the international Charles de Gaulle Airport.

Explosions have also been heard, reports Reuters. It is known that the two men are holding at least one person hostage.

Chris Morris, reporting for the BBC from a few hundred metres from the warehouse where the brothers are believed to be hiding, says intense gunfire and grenade explosions were heard for about a minute. Things on the ground are quiet again for now, Morris reports.

There are no reports yet of any action at the kosher market, where a gunman is holding at least five people hostage.

The gunman had demanded the release of the two brothers suspected of carrying out the Charlie Hebdo massacre.
