In southern France, approximately 800,000 people are experiencing mobile reception issues following a fire at a telecommunications mast near Lyon. Authorities suspect a potential arson incident, as a 90-meter-high mast was reported ablaze. The regional director of the service provider TDF described the event as likely criminal in nature, with restoration efforts underway. This is not the first occurrence of sabotage against transmission facilities, as recent incidents have been linked to extremist groups.
