Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak today urged all parties to stand firm against terrorist atrocities in light of yesterday's latest attack in southern France.

"Horrified by the cowardly attack in Nice. Must stand firm against terrorist atrocities. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of France," he said in a tweet.

International media reported that at least 84 people were killed when a terrorist drove a truck into crowds during the Bastille Day celebration in Nice yesterday evening.

Wisma Putra has confirmed that no Malaysian was affected by the incident.
