Carpentras. Night under tension at Amandiers & Pous-du-Plan: shots, fires, evacuation

Carpentras is still rife with tension.

Last night at the Amandiers, around midnight, there were many shots. Some of them were bursts that rang out in nearby neighborhoods. There were no reports of injuries. However, a gas bottle in an Elephants sector building was punctured by a bullet, resulting in a gas leak.

The firefighters evacuated the building in the presence and supervision of the police to avoid an explosion.

Pous-du-Plan was the other city that was considered sensitive. A mortar fire was observed. Fires of garbage cans or pallets required firefighters to step in.

The police also intervened to restore calm and conduct judicial police actions.
