Attackers targeted a prison near the French port city of Toulon overnight Monday to Tuesday, burning vehicles and firing shots at its walls, French authorities and a union said on Tuesday, adding that this was part of a series of attacks on the country\u2019s prisons.<\/p>\n

There were no reports of casualties. A union for prison workers, FO Justice, posted photos<\/a> on X, formerly Twitter, of bullet holes in prison walls, saying that prisons had been attacked in the north, center and south of the country.<\/p>\n

The office of France\u2019s counterterrorism prosecutor said it would begin an investigation into the violence, which it said started on Sunday. The justice minister, G\u00e9rald Darmanin, said he would visit the Toulon-La Farl\u00e8de prison on Tuesday in support of the officers there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
