Limoges town hall, a 143-year-old building in central France, was set on fire amid unrest following nationwide protests over the cost of living.

Macron pledged to capture all those who incited chaos and hold them to account for the crimes they’ve committed. Prime Minister Lecornu meanwhile stressed that limited public funds cannot endlessly go towards funding the damage the vandals cause.

According to a Defence Ministry press release, two F-16s carrying out air policing missions were involved in the operation to intercept the drones. It later said the targets were "jet-powered attack drones from the Geran family."

Violent clashes were reported in the capital, Tirana, where protesters threw stones at police, who responded with tear gas, according to Euronews Albania, as nationwide demonstrations entered their fifth consecutive day.

Belgian Interior Minister Bernard Quintin said on Saturday that the situation was "no longer simply a protest," calling it "pure and simple violence."

Belgium’s foreign minister blamed what he called Israel’s “illegal settlement policy” for the attack and pledged to push for further European Union sanctions.
