Nearly 100 high-speed train journeys were disrupted in France on Monday after cables were targeted in an apparent arson attack.
Transport Minister Philippe Tabarrot said on social media that cables were “deliberately set on fire” overnight just south of the south-eastern city of Valence.
The incident has affected the most heavily trafficked main line connecting the French capital Paris with the southern port city of Marseille.
There was no immediate information as to who the culprits might be.
