In France, several communication operators have experienced significant disruptions due to sabotage, according to Deutsche Welle. Unidentified individuals cut fiber optic cables in six regions, affecting the equipment of SFR and Bouygues Telecom. Paris, currently hosting the Olympic Games, was not impacted by this incident.

The companies are currently assessing the damage, and the police have launched an investigation into the sabotage. This incident follows a series of sabotage actions on the railway system, which complicated travel for Olympic spectators. French authorities suspect far-left activists to be behind these acts, and one such activist has been detained by the police today.
