MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Karl-Heinz Grundboeck also stressed that "the security measures still on increased level" and therefore there will be no changes.

"Actually not," he said when asked whether Austria would consider closing borders after the attack.

"Investigation under responsibility of French authorities, actually no relation to Austria," the spokesman added when asked if Austria was cooperating with France on investigation into the attack.

On Thursday evening, a heavy truck hit a crowd watching Bastille Day fireworks in southern France, killing 84 revellers and wounding dozens more. President Francois Hollande said the assault was of a "terrorist nature."
