Singaporean students Diana Poh, Ong Zihui, both 22, and Eugene Peter, 24 are safe in Paris, The Straits Times confirmed.

It was reported that the trio ran for their lives as multiple terrorist attacks on entertainment sites rattled France's capital city on Friday, Nov. 13 night, leaving more than 120 dead with eight assailants killed.

The three students from Singapore Management University spoke to ST at 8.30am Saturday when they were still in a state of shock.

They have been in Paris on an exchange programme since late August and are studying there till December.

The three students said they were safe in their apartment near the Republic Metro station, despite it being a 10-minute walk away from the Bataclan concert area where hostages were taken and where a majority of them killed when French forces launched a rescue operation.

Poh, 22, said friends and relatives in Singapore had been texting them updates about what was happening: "They told us to run the moment we alighted from the metro station."

Peter, 24, said they heard there were shootings when they asked someone to translate the French train announcement about what was going on.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says no Singaporean casualties have been reported.

It is monitoring developments in Paris and contacting registered Singaporeans in the city to ascertain their safety.
