JAKARTA - Telecommunications installations belonging to French companies SFR and Bouygues Telecom, were damaged, reports by the newspapers Le Parisien and BFM TV.

SFR and Bouygues did not immediately respond to a Reuters response request, Monday, July 29.

The report said cables in the power cupboard were cut in southern France. Meanwhile, installations in the Meuse area near Luxembourg and the Oise area near Paris have been damaged, resulting in a major impact on fixed telephone services.

Laporan Le Parisien dan BFM TV tidak menyebutkan apakah ada hubungan antara vandalism pada penyetalan telecommunications dan sabotasi yang terjadi sebelumnya pada jaringan kereta api.

Previously, the perpetrators of the sabotage targeted France's high-speed rail network on Friday, July 26, with attacks before dawn on signal and cable substations, causing chaos in travel hours before the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.

Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said a left-wing extremist was arrested on Sunday, July 28, in connection with the case.

Train traffic returned to normal on Monday morning, but this happened after about 800,000 people faced disruptions, including 100,000 people whose trains had to be canceled instantly.
