A major Paris-based Russian cultural institution on Sunday night was attacked with a Molotov cocktail, newspaper Le Parisien reported - the most serious targeting of a Russian building in France since the start of the war in Ukraine.
A security guard at "The Russian House of Science and Culture" (MRSC) alerted police after discovering that the gate of the building had been attacked, the report said. The office, located in the French capital's wealthy 16th district, enjoys diplomatic status.
Pieces of glass and liquid were found on the ground, the report added, citing a police source. French authorities also found a billboard that had partially melted and blackened by fire.
