On the day of the Paris Olympics 2024 opening ceremony, a coordinated sabotage attack on France's rail network caused significant disruption. Saboteurs targeted five signal boxes and electrical installations between 01:00 and 05:30, leading to extensive delays and cancellations. The attacks, including arson and vandalism, affected the high-speed TGV lines, stranding passengers at major stations like Gare du Nord and Gare Montparnasse. The French government condemned the attacks as premeditated and criminal, deploying intelligence services to investigate. Despite the chaos, efforts are underway to restore service and ensure the Olympics proceed smoothly.
