- France Train Attack LIVE: Transport Minister Patrice Vergriete condemns the "massive attack" on the rail network, labelling it an "outrageous criminal act." He observes people fleeing from the fire scenes and mentions the discovery of incendiary devices at the locations. Watch the full broadcast for more details.
France’s high-speed rail network was thrown into chaos, hours before the Olympics opening ceremony in Paris, by a series of coordinated arson attacks. The saboteurs struck away from the capital at five apparently unguarded places. France's state-owned rail company SNCF says the saboteurs vandalised or targeted five signal boxes and electricity installations.
France's TGV high-speed train services ground to a halt on major lines and stranded passengers filled the main concourses at Gare Du Nord and Gare Montparnasse, two of the major rail hubs in Paris for travelers on the main lines running north and west of the capital.
The caretaker Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said the repercussions for the rail network were massive and serious, and France's intelligence services and forces of order had been deployed to "find and punish those behind these criminal acts". It was not immediately clear who was behind the attacks.
