Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu said Tuesday. France will impose new curfews wherever the situation requires.

Curfews already apply in parts of Paris and several other cities. They followed weekend protests and riots over soaring living costs.

He said French cities were calm overnight after targeted curfews. France 24 reported that Paris passed the night without disturbance.

Lecornu also said some areas would remain under curfew. Local authorities can decide to extend curfews if necessary.

The Associated Press reported about 2400 arrests over the weekend. Thousands of businesses were damaged or looted.
