Two scientists from France's main state research agency received an eight-month prison sentence for throwing explosives at the Russian consulate in Marseille on February 24, marking the anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. No injuries occurred, but the area was cordoned off for bomb disposal. The researchers, who admitted to using liquid nitrogen from their lab, expressed motivations linked to Ukraine, particularly one researcher with a Ukrainian spouse whose family has been impacted by the ongoing conflict. The public prosecutor recommended serving sentences with electronic tags instead of in prison.
