A single Telegram channel claims looting and petrol bombs in Frankfurt followed by water cannon use; this is unconfirmed by a second source. A single DW report says IG Metall has begun warning strikes after pay talks collapsed. Youth-led protests in France turned violent, with a Molotov attack on police and an attempted murder investigation; France reported 779 arrests, fewer than the previous weekend.
