The attack is "coming to an end," the French justice minister, Christiane Taubira said on French radio.

The network also reports that a civilian was killed in the operation, and at least three police officers were wounded. 

The apparent ringleader of the attack Abdelhamid Abaaoud, is the main target, a senior Belgian counterterrorism official told CNN but the official cautioned authorities weren't certain that Abaaoud was at the location.

CNN's Atika Shubert reported five or six explosions at the scene. It wasn't clear if the explosions were controlled or otherwise. 

The report comes shortly after witnesses reported heavy gunfire and roads blocked by police in the suburb, home of the Stade de France national stadium, site of one of Saturday's attacks.
