Masked armed men affiliated with Corsican separatists release a video warning tourists and second-home owners to “stay at home” and telling them they “shouldn’t feel safe,” according to multiple UK tabloid reports. The messages are directed at people visiting or considering property purchases on Corsica, with the group described as the FLNC-UC (Corsican National Liberation Front–Union of Combatants) and portrayed as calling outsiders “invaders.”
The reports say French authorities are assessing the incident. One outlet states that French anti-terror prosecutors have opened a preliminary investigation, while another similarly reports an anti-terror inquiry following the video’s release. The outlets characterize the warning as “chilling” and note that it is filmed as a direct threat rather than a statement of political demands.
Across coverage, the core details remain the same: a threatening video targets tourists and second-home owners on the Mediterranean island, issued by armed Corsican separatists, and it prompts involvement by prosecutors investigating potential terrorism-related offences.
