French cities remained calm overnight after curfews were imposed in an effort to contain violence, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said.
Lecornu said the measures had been introduced in areas where they were considered necessary. The curfews were intended to reduce disruption and help restore calm during the night.
The French prime minister said decisions on whether to impose further curfews on Tuesday night would be taken locally, depending on the situation. No details were provided on which cities were affected or on the nature and scale of the violence.
The latest assessment indicates that the overnight situation was calm. Authorities are expected to determine the next steps, including whether additional night-time restrictions are required.
