Anarchist groups have claimed responsibility for a sabotage incident that caused a blackout during the Cannes Film Festival, affecting around 160,000 homes. The attack involved an arson on a high-voltage power pole and the cutting of a pylon’s feet, leading to power disruptions, although the festival venue had its own generators. Power was restored after five hours, but further sabotage occurred in Nice, resulting in additional outages, prompting investigations into the coordinated efforts required for such acts.
