The French high-speed rail network was paralyzed ahead of the opening of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Citing an announcement by French rail operator SNCF on the 26th local time, Le Monde said TGVs in the west, north and east were suspended due to "malicious behavior."
The incident caused significant delays on the 26th, the day of the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
SNCF explained that TGV operations are severely disrupted by "large-scale attacks that paralyze the network." It is not known exactly what type of attack this 'large-scale attack' is, but it is known that it is a physical form of attack that destroys objects related to railroads.
They said they had diagnosed the current situation and started repairs at the site, but added that operations would be disrupted for at least the weekend.
SNCF said it would notify customers of information related to train operations, recommending that "all travelers postpone their trip and not go to the station."
"We firmly condemn these criminal acts that will jeopardize the summer holidays of many French people," Transport Minister Patrice Bergreiet said.
Coincidentally, the attack took place ahead of the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Le Monde said it was not known if such an attack was related to the opening ceremony of the Olympics.
