France has been reportedly hit by a new round of sabotage acts, this time targeting telecommunications operators, APA reports citing DW.
The fiber optic networks of several operators were "sabotaged" in six areas of France, according to the police. The capital Paris, which currently hosts the Olympic games, was not affected.
Installations belonging to French telecom companies SFR and Bouygues Telecom were vandalized, the French Le Parisien newspaper and BFM TV reported. The cables had been cut in southern France, with installations near Luxembourg and Paris sabotaged.
It is not yet clear how many customers have been affected. Investigations into the incident have reportedly been launched.
The news comes after saboteurs targeted France's high-speed rail network on Friday, over which a man was arrested on Monday morning.
