A historic town hall in Limoges, in central-southern France, is set on fire during nationwide protests, with flames reaching parts of the 143-year-old building and its roof. The incident is captured as the landmark structure burns in the city centre, while firefighters respond to stop the blaze spreading further.
Across outlets, reporting links the attack to unrest that follows demonstrations over the cost of living. Euronews and the BBC describe the town hall being engulfed in flames amid the broader protests, while other coverage emphasizes the extent of damage, including collapse of parts of the roof. Breitbart and Fox News both report arrests related to the arson, citing prosecutors and describing the suspects as tied to the riots. The Inquirer (AFP) includes on-the-ground details, saying the fire spreads to a wing and reaches the roof, and firefighters work to prevent total loss. Authorities investigate the circumstances as the protests continue.
