French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday denounced the “unacceptable violence” of a recent string of attacks on prisons and prison workers around France. “They (assailants) will be found, tried, and punished,” Macron said in a post on X social media.

Cars were set on fire at a prison in Tarascon in southern France early on Wednesday, justice minister Gerald Darmanin said on Wednesday, as the government tackles a wave of attacks on jails.

"Cars were set on fire very early this morning," Darmanin said adding the incident came after at least six prisons in France were hit with gun and arson attacks at the start of the week.
