"France's Unrest: Mayor's House Targeted, Calmer Night Amid Protests, and Calls for Calm"

Rioters in France have been accused of ramming a car into the home of the mayor of a southern Paris suburb, injuring his spouse and one of his children. The mayor described the attack as an "attempted murder of unspeakable cowardice." Meanwhile, protests in France have prompted demonstrations in Switzerland, with seven people detained in Lausanne after causing damage to businesses. Iran has called on the French government to end the violent treatment of protesters, while China has complained about an attack on a bus carrying Chinese tourists in Marseille. Over 700 people were arrested overnight, and the protests were sparked by the death of a 17-year-old driver who was shot by a police officer during a traffic stop.
