The fiber network has been sabotaged in several departments in France, writes the newspaper Le Parisien.

Cables in electrical cabinets belonging to the telecom operators SFR and Bouygues have been cut in at least six places. However, not in Paris, where the Olympic Games are taking place, according to the French police. According to reports, it is primarily the fixed telephone network that has been affected.

There is no information on whether the sabotage is coordinated or who is behind it.

On Friday - the same day the Olympic Games opened - the train traffic in France was affected by extensive disruptions when a coordinated attack on key points on the tracks stopped the high-speed trains TGV.
