In a coordinated act of sabotage just hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympics, multiple high-speed train lines in France were targeted, causing significant disruptions.

Fires were set and cables were stolen at key junctions, affecting services across the Atlantic, North, and East lines.

The SNCF reported that around 800,000 travelers were impacted, with many trains delayed or canceled.

Authorities have launched an investigation into the incidents, which are believed to be linked to radical groups.

Security measures have been heightened across the rail network to prevent further attacks, as the government condemns these criminal acts that threaten public safety during a major international event.
