Fiber optic networks sabotaged in France

The fiber optic networks of several telecommunications operators have been "sabotaged" in six areas of France but Paris is not affected, announced French police on Monday. The French police said, according to what was reported by the BFM news channel, that the fiber optic network belonging to the SFR Communications network was affected, which had an impact on part of their customer base. The incident occurred three days after coordinated acts of sabotage paralyzed high-speed train services hours before the Olympics opening ceremony, disrupting travel for hundreds of thousands of people. Prior to the start of the Olympic Games, France is concerned about several security threats that would destabilize the games, with millions attending this event, therefore security restrictions and reinforcements have been significantly increased to avoid any attacks.
