Paris Olympics: Trains remain affected by sabotage acts

Paris: A number of fibre optic cables carrying broadband service across France’s southern and eastern regions were cut overnight in the latest attack on the country’s infrastructure during the Olympic Games.

France was on Monday probing the possible involvement of ultra-left movements in attacks that paralysed the rail network at the start of the Olympic Games, as new sabotage acts affected fiber optic cables in several areas.

SNCF employees repair the scene of a suspected attack on the Eastern high speed railway network in Vandieres, north eastern France on July 26, 2024, as France's high-speed rail network was hit by an attack disrupting the transport system, hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

The scale of the impact is unclear, as is whether it has affected any Olympic activities.
