Fireworks Injure Four Students at French High Schools

Four students were injured after fireworks were set off in classrooms and corridors at two high schools in Chelles, near Paris, on November 9. Footage showed explosions between classroom desks as students took shelter and smoke filled the rooms. The Ile-de-France regional government said 170 high schools had suffered damage in recent weeks and allocated 10 million euros for repairs and increased security.
