00:00Telecom companies in France have been targeted by acts of vandalism just days after a wave
00:06of attacks also hit the country's rail network. SFR, Bouget and Free saw their installations
00:12vandalised, an act which left countless French people without network access. Fibre-optic
00:17cuts were reported by a police source, and both fixed and mobile lines were reportedly
00:21affected. No one has claimed the actions as yet, and the ongoing Olympic Games appear
00:27not to have been impacted at this time.
00:33These acts of sabotage take place just three days after the coordinated malicious attacks
00:37that targeted French national rail company SNCF and severely disrupted rail traffic over
00:42the weekend. On Sunday, one person was arrested in conjunction with the attacks at an SNCF
00:48site.
