France's foreign minister announced plans to summon the Russian ambassador to discuss Moscow's alleged role in a cyber campaign aimed at sabotage and espionage. The minister said the government will also impose sanctions on nine individuals and four entities linked to the operation, which officials attributed to Russia's FSB security service.
Reported targets and scope Officials said the campaign struck government ministries, companies, and service operators across ten European countries in recent days. The stated goals included capturing information and disrupting operations, with rail infrastructure cited as an example of prior sabotage.
Detection and response The minister said France detected the activity because it has strengthened defenses against such attacks. Russia has faced repeated accusations of cyberattacks in Europe, which Moscow has denied.
