France’s state-owned rail company SNCF says a ‘massive attack’ aimed at paralysing the high-speed network is causing delays and cancellations.
A “massive attack” on the train infrastructure of France’s largest rail company, SNCF, has caused a significant number of trains to be re-routed or cancelled on Friday morning, according to the transport company.
“We ask all travellers who can do so to postpone their trip and not go to the station,” SNCF said on social media.
The attack is expected to throw the transport system into chaos on the first day of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
A company spokesperson told DW that the attack spans “arson” with routes cancelled or delayed across the weekend while “repairs are conducted”.
