Just days after a Mauritanian immigrant jumped over security barriers brandishing a knife at the Eiffel Tower intending to kill a soldier, a still-unknown suspect has rammed into a group of French soldiers outside their barracks in what authorities are calling a deliberate act. Six soldiers are reportedly injured.

The soldiers are part of Operation Sentinel, activated after the declared national emergency following the January 2015 Charlie Hebdo attack.

Anti-terror police are now investigating the incident, which occurred in Levallois-Perret outside Paris.
