France’s high speed rail system was hit by several acts of “criminal” vandalism Friday, disrupting travel in the country as thousands of people flocked to Paris for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics set to take place later in the day. No injuries were immediately reported.

France’s Prime Minister Gabriel Attal said on social media that “acts of sabotage were carried out in a prepared and coordinated manner” across the rail network.

“The consequences on the rail network are massive and serious,” Attal said. “Our intelligence services and law enforcement are mobilized to find and punish the perpetrators of these criminal acts.”

France’s transportation minister told local media that attacks on three sites in the early hours of the morning involved cable clusters connected to the railway being doused with fuel and set on fire.
