Vladimir Putin has warned that Russia will seize European vessels if European nations proceed with the seizure of ships carrying Russian cargo. Speaking aboard a Russian cruiser, Putin labelled such actions as “piracy and robbery,” and indicated that the Ministry of Defence has been instructed to prepare for reciprocation.

Rouen Mayor Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol said that the attack has left not just the Jewish community but the entire city “battered and in shock.” Police were alerted around 06:45 local time (04:45 GMT) after smoke was seen rising from the synagogue.
