The state-owned railway operator said arsonists had damaged signal boxes along the lines connecting Paris with cities such as Lille in the north, Bordeaux in west and Strasbourg in the east. Another attack on the Paris-Marseille line was foiled.
SNCF chief mentioned that some 800,000 customers were impacted, with thousands of rail staff deployed for repairs ahead of a busy weekend. The attacks are perceived as an effort to destabilize France.
