At least three suspected jihadists behind Friday night’s Paris attacks are reportedly dead – including a woman who detonated a suicide vest – after a police raid north of the capital turned into a shootout.

Several police members were injured in the raid, which ended in a two-hour exchange of gunfire and explosives, News Limited reports.

Up to six suspected extremists – including the mastermind behind the deadly attacks, which killed more than 130 people – were believed to be hiding out in an apartment in suburban Saint Denis.

The Saint-Denis mayor Denis Paillard told local reporters no civilians were killed or injured in the raid, setting straight earlier reports that a passerby was killed, according to Fairfax Media.

French media reports a woman blew herself up with an explosive vest during the raid and that three suspects have been arrested.

French police have confirmed the alleged mastermind of the attacks, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was the target of the dawn operation, though it is not yet clear whether he is one of the people killed or arrested.

There are varied news reports about whether two or three suspects have been killed.

More to come.
