The news is made known by the French newspaper Le Figaro, referring to the recent French Interior Ministry report.

According to authorities, the national situation has remained largely under control, despite incidents recorded in several cities, including Marseilles, Grenoblin, Lyons, Bordone, Poiters, Montpellier, Toluza, Tours, Saint-Étienne, Angers, Nancy, Lilla and Rouenin.

The Interior Ministry reported that mortar bombs have been dropped on the rule forces, while public space and business equipment has been damaged. Also, several trash cans have been engulfed in flames.

French authorities attributed the incidents to high-risk groups, composed of radical and far-left activists, who, according to them, have attempted to stir up violence during manifestations.

The ministry stressed that rule forces have systematically intervened to prevent escalation of the situation.

In her report, the Interior Ministry also voiced concern for the violent attack on journalists in Lyons.
