Masked Rioters Clash With Police, Injure Nine in Limoges Highway Attack
In Limoges, France, a violent overnight attack involved between 100 and 150 masked assailants armed with metal bars, Molotov cocktails, fireworks, stones, and baseball bats targeting vehicles on the RN141 highway and clashing with police. The incident left nine to ten officers injured and is believed to be linked to a gang turf war rather than a protest, with attackers aiming to disrupt traffic and assert territorial control. Vehicles carrying families, including children, were attacked, though no motorists were physically harmed, leaving many shaken. The unrest follows recent disturbances in the nearby Val de l'Aurence neighborhood, described by local officials as a "lawless zone" with a reputation for drug activity and poverty. Local authorities and prosecutors have denied a direct connection between the attack and recent anti-drug operations, while France's Interior Ministry announced plans to deploy a special security force to the city. Limoges Mayor Émile Roger Lombertie characterized the attackers as an organized "urban guerrilla" group intent on destruction and territorial dominance.
