An incendiary device exploded outside the Russian consulate in Marseille early on Monday, authorities said, on the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
No injuries reported after incident on Monday, which marks third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
There have been multiple protests in France against Russia’s war in Ukraine since 2022, including demonstrations in Marseille, Paris and other cities.
Marseille, France’s second-largest city and a main Mediterranean port, is home to a diverse population but does not have a notably large Russian community.
The suspect fled and an investigation has been launched, an official said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to be publicly named by national police policy.
