In a coordinated act of sabotage, the SNCF railway network in France was targeted during the night of July 25-26, 2024, just hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.

Multiple incidents, including arson and cable theft, occurred at key points on the high-speed rail lines, affecting the North, East, and Atlantic routes.

The attacks have severely disrupted services, impacting around 800,000 travelers.

While no arrests have been made, authorities are investigating links to far-left groups, as the methods used resemble previous actions by these factions.

The SNCF has stated that they are rerouting some trains but will have to cancel many others due to the damage.

The investigation is being led by the national anti-terrorism unit, with heightened security measures now in place across the network.
