France has introduced a curfew for minors in several cities following protests by school students. The restriction applies to Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux and other cities, and only in districts that have been specifically designated.

According to a report by the Ukrainian outlet Ukrainska Pravda, the decision was linked to vandalism that accompanied the protests. A curfew means that minors may not be outdoors in the designated areas during set hours.

The source does not say why the students began protesting, when exactly the restrictions took effect, how long they will remain in force, or which districts are covered. The curfew hours and the penalties for violations are also not mentioned.
