French officials have confirmed via Twitter that a police dog was killed during one of the counter-terrorism raids in the Saint-Denis suburb of Paris.

While targeting Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the man thought to be the mastermind of the Paris attacks of last week, police raided a number of apartments in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Policemen sustained injuries at the scene after a woman detonated a suicide vest. As many as seven explosions were heard in the area.
