The front window of a Halal butcher's shop was sprayed with bullets overnight on the French island of Corsica, where religious and racial tensions have flared in recent months, local prosecutor Éric Bouillard said on Wednesday, reports FRANCE 24.
The butcher's shop, located in the centre of the southern resort town of Propriano, was "hit with a torrent of heavy-weapons fire," said Bouillard.
No one was injured in the incident.
Corsica was rocked by anti-Arab protests in December after two firefighters and a police officer were injured in an ambush on Christmas eve at the Jardins de l'Empereur, a low-income neighbourhood in the capital Ajaccio.
During the protests, demonstrators shouted slogans such as "This is our home!" and "Arabs get out".
