The circulation of TGV trains in the southeast of France has been affected by vandalism, with numerous cancellations and delays.

On Monday, the high-speed train service TGV was severely disrupted in the southeast of France due to some burned cables, which led to the cancellation of several trains and the blocking of passengers in stations. The state railway operator SNCF announced that the repair work on the deliberately burned railway cables will last until the evening, and normal traffic is expected to resume on Tuesday morning.

TGV trains between Paris and destinations such as Marseille, Montpellier, and Nice were canceled, and trains from the southeast of France to Paris and Lyon are delayed by up to five hours. The disruptions do not affect the line between Paris and Lyon. The Minister of Transport, Philippe Tabarot, confirmed the deliberate nature of the vandalism, highlighting the significant impact on railway services.
