Rioters set fire to city hall in Limoges, France

Unrest has surged across France this weekend. According to The New York Times, the most surprising attack took place in the city of Limoges, where rioters set fire to the city hall.

Limoges is described as a quiet city that was not previously known for unrest. That made the attack on the municipal building especially unexpected, and it shows the disorder has reached places with no such record.

The information available from the source is very limited. It does not say what caused the unrest, how much damage the fire did, whether anyone was injured or detained, or how the authorities responded. Those details may emerge as further reports appear.
