Three people were killed at a church in Nice, France, an attack that the city’s mayor says is an act of terrorism.

It is the third such incident in the nation in two months.

Wednesday, Islamic State extremists issued a video calling for renewed attacks on France. The attacks appear to be linked to an ongoing trial for the 2015 killings at Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical newspaper that published the controversial caricatures.

Christian Estrosi, Nice’s mayor, said the church killings were a "terrorist" attack, adding: “The meaning of his gesture left no doubt.”
