“A soldier from Operation Sentinelle was stabbed while on patrol at Gare de l'Est in Paris. He is not in serious condition. The perpetrator has been arrested,” French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said in a post on X.

Operation Sentinelle is a military counter-terrorism operation established after the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks in January 2015. France has stepped up security measures around Paris ahead of the 2024 Olympics, including increasing the number of troops deployed to Operation Sentinelle.
French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu sent his condolences to the attacked soldiers and said: “I want to express my support and gratitude to our armed forces, who are working harder than ever to ensure the safety of the French people.”
