Illegal Rave on French Military Site Draws Over 20,000 Despite Explosive Risks
An illegal rave, known as the 'Bourges Teknival,' attracted over 20,000 revelers to a military site in central France, despite the presence of unexploded ordnance. The event, organized via social media, took place on a military firing range deemed 'very dangerous' by authorities. Partygoers from across Europe began arriving at the site, which has been used for testing canons, missiles, and shells. The local prefecture classified the event as illegal, deploying 600 police officers who issued fines for narcotics possession and driving offenses. Emergency services treated at least 12 people for minor injuries. The rave was reportedly held in protest against a proposed law to strengthen the criminalization of rave parties.
