Macron vows punishment for French prison attackers

In a series of attacks that have put the government on edge, unknown assailants have since Sunday hit several jails and facilities across France, torching cars, spraying the entrance of one prison with automatic gunfire, and leaving mysterious inscriptions. The authorities said earlier Wednesday that assailants had targeted cars and a building lobby linked to prison staff in fresh attacks overnight. "Some are seeking to intimidate our prison staff and attack facilities with unacceptable violence," Macron said on X.
