French prisons and detention centers have once again been targeted, as Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin disclosed overnight on Monday. These recent incidents follow a series of attacks last week, none of which have been claimed.

Although authorities suspect drug traffickers as the main culprits behind these unprecedented attacks, the possibility of foreign influence or far-left involvement has not been ruled out. Despite this, no arrests have been reported in connection to the incidents.

Justice Minister Darmanin's statement emphasized that while no injuries were recorded, these acts serve as intimidation efforts against the Republic. The minister's comments highlight the need for heightened security and investigative measures as authorities seek to address the growing concerns surrounding prison attacks.
