Paris, Oct 10 (SocialNews.XYZ) An attack on an armoured van occurred this Thursday morning in the heart of Grenoble, the capital of the Isere department in southeastern France, causing three injuries, the Prefect of Isere confirmed on its official X account.

An investigation has been launched. The case has been handed over to the Organized and Specialized Crime Division under the French Ministry of the Interior.
