Fiber optic cables were cut in nine departments. Vandals damaged communications between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. Paris time, so alternative customer service routes had to be used.

A representative of the Paris prosecutor's office said that he is analyzing the situation with regional colleagues and may lead the investigation. The authorities are called to increase criminal liability for vandalism in the telecommunications infrastructure.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, French authorities suspect russia of involvement in the sabotage of the country's railway infrastructure, which caused a passenger collapse on the opening day of the Olympic Games in Paris.
