2:51Now PlayingVehicles were set alight outside several French prisons, and one jail was hit by gunfire from an automatic weapon, in a wave of overnight attacks.
Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin said the jails had faced "intimidation attempts" and linked the attacks to the government's crackdown on drug trafficking.
