The Indian rupee extended its early decline against the U.S. dollar in evening deals on Wednesday, as regional stocks declined on weak global cues.

The benchmark BSE Sensex closed lower at 25,482, down 381.95 points or 1.48 percent, while the broader Nifty index fell 105.75 points or 1.35 percent to 7,732.

News of a bomb threat in Germany, the diversion of two Air France flights to Paris from the U.S., and a shootout in Paris that killed two people dampened investor mood.

The rupee fell to a 6-day low of 66.32 against the greenback, compared to Tuesday's closing value of 65.96. The next possible support for the rupee is seen around the 67.00 region.
