After Rail Network, Telecoms Installations Attacked In France Amid Olympics

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said that one far-left extremist had been arrested on Sunday in relation to the case.

Telecom installations belonging to French companies SFR and Bouygues Telecom have been vandalised, reported Le Parisien newspaper and BFM TV on Monday, citing unnamed sources.

SFR and Bouygues did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The reports said cables in electrical cabinets had been cut in southern France, and that installations in the Meuse region near Luxembourg and the Oise area near Paris had been vandalised, affecting mainly fixed-line services.
