France is planning to extend state of emergency, which has been in place since Daesh terror attacks in 2015 to November 1, and will plan new security measures in the upcoming weeks, a statement by the French presidency said Wednesday.

Macron said in a statement that he will ask parliament to prolong the measure from July 15, its current expiration date, until Nov. 1. It would be the sixth extension of the state of emergency, which gives police exceptional powers.

He made the decision after a security meeting Wednesday in which top officials "studied the implications of this new terrorist attack on measures of protection to ensure the security of our compatriots."

Macron also asked his government to prepare draft legislation to reinforce security measures permanently beyond the state of emergency.
