France's High-Speed Rail Network Hit by Sabotage, Disrupting Travel for 800,000 Ahead of Paris Olympics
Jul 26, 2024, 08:16 AM
France's high-speed rail network has been severely disrupted by a series of coordinated acts of sabotage, including arson attacks, just hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. The state-owned railway operator SNCF reported that several lines have been targeted, causing massive travel disruptions and stranding hundreds of thousands of passengers. The attacks, which impacted three high-speed train routes, have paralyzed some of the busiest rail lines in the country. Authorities are investigating the incidents, which have been described as 'malicious acts' aimed at destabilizing the transport system during a high-profile international event. Approximately 800,000 passengers have been affected by the disruptions.
