French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced a partial curfew across several northern cities on Monday and Tuesday nights, following severe rioting and civil unrest.

According to Agence France-Presse (AFP), Lecornu’s office stated that a partial curfew from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM (18:00 to 04:00 GMT) will be enforced over the two nights in four northern cities, including Lille.

Additionally, Paris police announced a partial nighttime curfew and banned public demonstrations in several capital neighborhoods as the French government seeks to restore order following some of the worst violence the country has seen in years.

The Paris Police Prefecture detailed that the partial curfew in the capital will run from 11:00 PM (21:00 GMT) on Monday until 6:00 AM on Tuesday across designated districts. Demonstrations and public gatherings have also been prohibited in specific neighborhoods of Paris from 8:00 PM Monday through 6:00 AM Tuesday.
