French police arrested two people after improvised explosive devices were thrown at the Russian consulate in the southern city of Marseille, prosecutors said on Tuesday.
The attack on the third anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine on Monday did not injure anyone. Police said three plastic soda bottles were lobbed into the consulate's gardens and only two exploded.
Russia called the incident a "terrorist attack," while Paris condemned "any infringement of the security of diplomatic compounds."
The Marseille prosecutor's office said those detained were adults but did not provide further details. Regional newspaper La Provence reported they were identified during a pro-Ukraine protest on Monday evening.
No one AFP spoke to in the neighborhood of the Russian consulate said they heard an explosion.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
