SFR, France's second-largest telecoms company, experienced sabotage of its long-distance fiber network at five different locations between 1 am and 3 am. The vandalism, suspected to be deliberate, led to disruptions in fiber optic services and mobile internet connectivity. The attack, coinciding with the Olympic Games in Paris, impacted both SFR customers and other operators that use their network, albeit SFR reported the impact as 'limited'. Repair work is underway, and while no group has claimed responsibility, there is speculation of 'ultra-left' involvement as well as potential foreign state actor influence.
