Brussels: Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel on Saturday urged his fellow citizens to avoid travel to Paris following the attacks that left at least 128 people dead. 

Michel, speaking live on RTBF television, issued "a message to our citizens by asking them to avoid travelling to Paris if it is not strictly necessary."

A spokesman for the prime minister told AFP the security measure would be effective at least through the weekend.
