Rousset (Bouches-du-Rhône): Power Cut to Microchip Factories (France)

Investigation Launched After Fire in an Electrical Transformer in the Rousset Industrial Zone.

During the night of Monday, June 1, an “act of vandalism,” according to city officials, caused a fire in the power transformer located in the Rousset industrial park. A section of the fence surrounding the transformer was cut through to gain access to the site, according to city officials. This vandalism caused a power outage that affected three companies in the area [where semiconductor manufacturers STMicroelectronics, Microchip Technology, and their suppliers* are located]. A power transformer is a high-voltage electrical component essential to the operation of power grids. As soon as the incident was discovered, the municipal police intervened to gather initial evidence relevant to the investigation.

Delicatessen (Italy)

Terzo (Italy), March 25, 2026. Sabotage of the pylon supplying electricity to the pumps of the TAL oil pipeline.
“The principle behind the new deployment of units is clear: seek out the enemy to strike at its most vulnerable points”
(Logbook of the Garibaldi Carnia batallion, 1945)
It’s only now that we’ve learned that, in late March, the destruction of a single electricity pylon in Italy would have cut off oil supplies to Central Europe for several days [March 25–30, Translator’s Note]. Once it arrives at the port of Trieste, the black gold is indeed fed into the Transalpine Pipeline (TAL), which apparently covers no less than 40% of Germany’s oil needs, 90% of Austria’s, and more than 50% of the Czech Republic’s.

In Contempt #8: State Terror in Prairieland, Minneapolis, Michigan, & Elsewhere, Repression Breeds Resistance…But Only If We Try!

link: https://incontempt.noblogs.org/2026/06/30/in-contempt-8/

In a climate of escalating repression and social war, we return with another round-up of updates and calls to action about political prisoners, repression of revolutionaries, and rebellions behind bars.

The US state’s recent attacks on anarchists and anti-authoritarians, framing the militant forefront of mass resistance to fascism as “terrorism” is nothing new––it is the foundational repressive arm of US state capitalist terror that seeks to maintain its imperial and national domination at all costs. From Haymarket to the Anarchist Exclusion Act, from the Sedition Act to Sacco and Vanzetti, from Red Scares to COINTELPRO, from the MOVE bombing to Wounded Knee, from the Green Scare to J20, and now from Prairieland to Minneapolis, any threat to the state in the vast social war of the exploited against their exploiters will encounter repression.

Froges (Isère): Cutting Off Power to Semiconductor Factories (France)

Cutting Off Power to Semiconductor Factories

Claim of Attack on Pylons Targeting STM and Soitec: Water and Stars, Not Chips and Nuclear Power!

Earlier this week, we attacked two pylons on the high-voltage lines that supply the Froges substation (in the Grésivaudan region).

This substation supplies electricity to the STMicroelectronics and Soitec semiconductor factories. We sawed through the bases of these pylons, but they remained standing despite our efforts to bring them down and cause a power outage.

Ottawa: Trucks in Metro Courtyard Vandalized (Canada)

Hi Metro, are you still wondering who these people are who broke into the courtyard of your distribution center in Sandy Hill? Who effortlessly drilled holes in the tires of your trucks — tweny-five to be exact — and sabotaged the braking system of six more? Who completely covered those same trucks with paint? Forcing you to wash it off quickly the next morning so you wouldn’t have to drive across town saying “Eat the Rich” and “Fuck Metro.” Oh, but wait, you couldn’t, tires were flat! As you could read on one of your trucks: no tires, no profits, right?

Well look no more, it’s us! Just Some Other Bitches Expropriating Your Shit, or as we like to call ourselves: SOBEYS. Yeah, like your rival supermarket chain in Canada. Maybe were we jealous of your reported 2025 net earnings exceeding $1 billion? Anyways, we easily found the address of one of your distribution centers and decided to make it not yours anymore. Reminding you that even when you try, you don’t have control over what you think is yours. Continue reading Ottawa: Trucks in Metro Courtyard Vandalized (Canada)

Nort-sur-Erdre (Loire-Atlantique): Concrete Mixer Trucks Go Up in Smoke (France)

Four concrete mixer trucks set on fire at a company near
Nantes; an investigation has been launched

During the night of Saturday, May 23, around 4:30 a.m., the gendarmerie was alerted to a fire involving concrete mixer trucks in Nort-sur-Erdre, near Nantes. “‘I heard two loud booms,’” explains a resident of the hamlet of La Verrière, who lives about one kilometer as the crow flies from Rue d’Anjou, where four concrete mixer trucks were on fire. The explosions were likely caused by bursting tires or fuel tanks on the vehicles.

This Friday, May 29, trucks blackened by flames are parked in the lot of Bétons Manufacturés de l’Erdre (BME Guimard Bétons), a family-owned business that has been manufacturing and delivering ready-mix concrete for over 40 years. “Forensic investigators have documented the scene,” states the gendarmerie, which is taking this fire very seriously, given the context of opposition against land development.

The ongoing investigation has been entrusted to the Ancenis Criminal Investigation Unit and the Nort-sur-Erdre Independent Unit.

Railway substation Burns (netherlands)

No more trains today in part of the Randstad (Netherlands) due to fire at a substation
12th of June – Due to a fire at a substation along the tracks in Woerden there are no trains running on the routes between Utrecht and The Hague and between Utrecht and Rotterdam.
Three trains were stranded on these routes, carrying a total of at least 1,000 passengers, according to NS. The passengers have been evacuated.

The fire at the distribution station has been extinguished. It must now be disconnected and repaired. “That requires a great deal of expertise, and it’s quite a major undertaking,” according to ProRail. That is why it will no longer be possible to resume the schedule today.

In a distribution station—officially called a substation—electricity enters and is sent to the overhead wires, allowing trains to run.

The cause of the fire is not yet known…

Mischievous Evening Jaunt (USA)

June 30, 2026

Recently during a warm evening jaunt we sabotaged an automated license plate reader, an indigo bike station, some construction machinery, and painted over or disabled around 20 camera.

We want to highlight some of the tools we used that we think are underappreciated in radical circles. A handheld garden sprayer filled with watered down paint was used to paint a lot of the out of reach cameras. It’s smaller, lighter, and easier to use than a fire extinguisher. The license plate reader, other cameras, and the bike station were sabotaged using wire cutters. Exposed wires were snipped and hand tools opened panels when wires were inside cabinets or conduits.

We had an awesome time and enjoyed a fabulous post-crime spree glow in the days that followed!

Caen (Calvados): Anti-nuclear sabotage targeting the Cherbourg-Paris rail line (France)

(Caen) Sabotage on the Cherbourg-Paris rail line – for a “Black Spring” in 2026

Indymedia Lille, 27 avril 2026

On the night of April 26, exactly forty years to the day after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, an SNCF signal light was sabotaged along the Cherbourg-Paris line, near Caen. The fire was set in the signal’s electrical cabinet alongside the tracks.

According to the SNCF and the press, this “act of vandalism” is causing train delays of at least 30 minutes in both directions on the Cherbourg–Caen–Paris and Caen–Coutances–Granville–Rennes lines on April 27. Service is expected to return to normal by 5:00 p.m.
