A sonic weapon was reportedly used by French police against protesters in Bordeaux during demonstrations against rising living costs. The device, mounted on a Centaure armored vehicle, emitted extremely loud sounds aimed at dispersing crowds. The French Interior Ministry had deployed 25 such vehicles for security during the protests. The United Nations warns that sonic weapons can cause severe auditory damage, including pain and potential hearing loss. The protests were part of a nationwide movement against the increasing cost of living in France.
