Following a series of malicious acts including arson attacks, SNCF reported disruptions affecting the high-speed rail lines. The incidents appeared coordinated by individuals with insider knowledge.
French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal characterized the vandalism as 'acts of sabotage' and stated that intelligence services were mobilized to track down the perpetrators.
The disruptions led to significant diversions and cancellations of trains, affecting around 800,000 passengers. The situation was expected to last throughout the weekend due to necessary repairs.
Eurostar also announced the cancellation of a quarter of its services, urging passengers to defer travel plans amidst the disruptions.
