India, June 26 -- European stocks declined on Friday as a global tech sell-off gathered pace and a container ship was attacked near the coast of Oman, forcing a pause on evacuations of stranded seafarers.

The pan European Stoxx 600 fell 0.9 percent to 634.57 after climbing 0.8 percent to reach a record high on Thursday.

The German DAX tumbled 1.3 percent, while France's CAC 40 and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 both were down around 0.6 percent.
