PARIS (Reuters) – Cars were set on fire at a prison in Tarascon in southern France early on Wednesday, justice minister Gerald Darmanin said, as the government tackles a wave of attacks on jails.
“Cars were set on fire very early this morning,” Darmanin told C News TV.
The incident came after at least six prisons in France were hit with gun and arson attacks at the start of the week.
