France's high-speed rail network suffered coordinated sabotage attacks ahead of the Paris Olympic Games, disrupting travel for hundreds of thousands and raising concerns about further threats from radical groups and potential Russian involvement. French officials reported significant damage to critical infrastructure, prompting heightened security measures, including increased police presence and surveillance technology. Concurrently, a Russian war correspondent proposed a false-flag terrorist attack on a Chinese gas pipeline, suggesting it could be blamed on Ukraine to influence Chinese supply policies. Additionally, Germany's domestic intelligence service warned of rising Russian sabotage activities across the EU, indicating potential risks of influence and attacks, especially in the context of the ongoing war in Ukraine. These developments reflect broader geopolitical tensions and the increasing threat of sabotage and cyberattacks in Europe. The Paris Games, set amidst these security concerns, have mobilized extensive protective measures but remain vulnerable to external disruptions.
